In the first quarter of this year, Colombia produced 2.7 million bags of 60kg. The number is 28% greater than production of the same period last year, which was 2.1 million bags, according to the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC) amount.
The result was attributed to the renovation of coffee plantations with more resistant to diseases like rust and weather effects, with greater production potential bushes program.
The FNC also reported that coffee production in March this year was 828,000 bags of 60kg, against 617,000 bags in March 2014, an increase of 34%.

The drought that damaged much of the coffee producing areas of Brazil in recent months changed the course of the international bean market in February. Report released on Thursday, 13, the International Coffee Organization (ICO) shows that concern about the lack of rain in Brazil caused the price of the product to rise 24.4% in February in the international market. With this, the coffee recorded the highest monthly increase since May 1997.
