Colombia's coffee production is projected to decrease by 5.3%, reaching 12.5 million 60-kilogram bags in the 2025/26 market year, driven by damage from excessive rainfall that affected flowering and fruit growth. Although strong production is expected in the 2024/25 period, producers are facing long-term challenges that deter investment in replanting. Exports are anticipated to fall slightly to 11.8 million bags. The US continues to lead in import volumes, with steady domestic consumption hampered by high prices. Imported coffee is expected to fill the gap in local demand, notably from Brazil and Peru.
Colombia's coffee production is forecast to decline by 5.3% in 2025/26, reaching 12.5 million bags, attributed to excessive rainfall damage.
Despite a strong 2024/25 harvest, long-term disincentives for producers impact replanting investment.
The United States remains Colombia's top export market, although sustainability regulations raise concerns for producers.
