Coffee Production
Coffee
Coffee is the second largest traded commodity in the world, next only to petroleum and is popularly referred to as 'Brown Gold '. Coffee is grown in about 80 countries across the globe, of which over 50 are considered to be the major producers. India is one of the major coffee producing countries and ranks sixth in the world after Brazil, Columbia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Mexico. With only about 2 per cent share in the global coffee area, India contributes about 4 per cent towards the world production and between 4 to 4.5 per cent of global coffee exports. In India, coffee is cultivated in about 4.10 lakh hectares mainly confined to southern states of Karnataka (57%), Kerala (21%) and Tamil Nadu (8%), which form traditional coffee tracts. Coffee is also grown in non-traditional areas like Andhra Pradesh and Odisha as well as North Eastern States. Indian Coffee industry provides employment opportunities to more than five lakh workers in the growing sector and an equal numbers get indirect employment in processing and trade.
Coffee production
The production of coffee has declined by 3.48 per cent to 304500 tonnes in the financial year 2013-14 as compared to 315500 tonnes in the previous year. The production decline was mainly due to drought and heavy rains. Coffee areas had witnessed a long drought period during April-May financial year 2014 which resulted in heavy proliferation of white stem borer causing considerable loss to Arabica plants and unusually heavy and continuous rains from June to August financial year 2014 which resulted in diseases like black rot, stock rot and berry drop on account of wet conditions. Continuous rains did not even allow carrying out of routine cultural operations necessary to protect coffee plants. Coffee Exports
In FY 2014, India’s coffee exports registered a marginal growth of 2.88 per cent to 313035 tonnes as compared to 304251 tonnes in last year, on account of a sharp increase in shipments during the
