Costa Rican coffee production will be reduced by 18%
Xinhua News Agency, Mexico City (Reporter Liu Chenbing) Costa Rica's Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Xenia Chavez, announced a few days ago that due to rust, national coffee production is expected to decrease by 18% this year, far exceeding the 10.5% decline predicted at the beginning of the year. Coffee growers today asked Congress to approve a trust loan totaling 40 million U.S. dollars for the prevention and control of rust.
Costa Rica produced 1841532 bags (46 kilograms each) of coffee this year, compared with 2246521 bags last year. Chavez said that there are about 52000 coffee growers in Costa Rica, of which 81% are low-yield farmers with an output of less than 51 bags, accounting for only 25% of the total. $40 million in credit is mainly provided to these low-yield farmers.
In addition, the Costa Rican coffee industry faces falling international coffee prices, aging coffee trees, climate change and a recession in the United States, its main consumer market.
Rust is a destructive disease of coffee trees. Fungi can cause leaves and fruits to fall off. Rust began to appear in Costa Rica 30 years ago, but infected coffee trees never exceeded 5%. By the end of 2012, rust spread rapidly in Costa Rica due to rainfall and aging coffee trees, and emergency rust prevention warnings were issued in several coffee-producing countries in Central America.
