Brazil is expected to reap 45.6 million 60-kg bags of coffee in the upcoming 2015/16 crop, according to an estimate by U.S.-based green coffee importer Wolthers Douque.
That represents a 3.1 percent increase compared with a year earlier, Reuters reported.
“Plants looked quite lush and strong throughout the entire arabica regions, even the very high amount of pruned trees after last year’s drought looked rejuvenated and ready to flower next October,” the Wolthers Douque’s report stated.
