In terms of total volume, during the above-mentioned eight-month period, Honduras exported a total of 6.69 million metric piculs of coffee, a decrease of only one percentage point compared with 6.75 million piculs in the same period last year.

Ihcafe noted that weak prices in the international market had led to a decline in the total value of coffee exports from Honduras. The average price of international coffee in the first eight months of this year was $122.93 per picule, but the average price was as high as $144.13 per piculs in the same period last year.

Ihcafe estimates that in the current harvest year, which ends at the end of September, Honduras is expected to export 9 million litres of coffee, with a total value of more than US $1.5 billion.
