Coffee: Global Report up to February 2015

The international price of the grain fell to its lowest value in the last twelve months, despite the projected deficit for 2014/15 harvest.

Friday, March 6, 2015

From a report by the International Coffee Organization (ICO):

February saw a continuation of the downward trend of recent months in the coffee market. The ICO daily composite price indicator fell to just below $1.30, more than $0.50 less than the most recent peak of $185.09 in October 2014. Despite this downward pressure on prices, it is expected that world production will be 142 million bags in crop year 2014/15, 4.6 million less than in 2013/14 and the lowest level in three years. That means a deficit in the coffee market in the year, although stocks in exporting countries have so far allowed exports to keep up a strong pace.

The coffee market saw a sharp drop in February, because of better weather in Brazil meant the selling pressure to sell was strong. The ICO daily composite indicator price fell from $148.25 to $128.75 per pound, the lowest level since February 2014. The monthly average was $141.10, 4.8% lower than in January and the lowest in the last twelve months.
