Link to report: Colombia: Coffee Annual

In Marketing Year (MY) 2026/2027, Colombian coffee production is forecast to increase 7.2 percent to 13.4 million bags green bean equivalent (GBE), mainly due to favorable dry conditions. This increase follows a transition from La Niña to a strong El Niño. Coffee plants can withstand water stress and elevated temperatures, especially when cultivated in soils with good moisture retention that prevent critical water deficit. Decreasing coffee prices are encouraging replanting and renovations. As a result of higher production, Colombian coffee exports are expected to increase to 13.4 million bags in MY 2026/2027. The United States remains the top export destination for Colombian coffee, followed by the European Union and Japan.
