India's coffee output is likely to rise 12.3 percent from a year ago
to 350,400 tonnes in 2017/18 due to an expansion in the area under
cultivation, the state-run Coffee Board said on Tuesday.
The South Asian country, which is famous as a tea producer, is also
the world's No.6 coffee grower, mainly churning out the robusta beans
used to make instant coffee, but also producing some of the more
expensive arabica variety.
The country's robusta production is likely to rise 14 percent to
247,300 tonnes in the marketing year that started on Oct. 1, while
arabica output could rise 8.5 percent to 103,100 tonnes, the board said.
India, which some say started coffee cultivation in 1670 with seven smuggled beans, exports three-quarters of its production.
