put is expected to rise slightly by 0.5% from 145.1 million bags during 2012-13 crop year (October-September) to 145.8 million bags in the current 2013-14 marketing year, according to a report by the International Coffee Organisation (ICO).ICO has predicted this increase in spite of a marginal decline in major coffee producing nations such as Brazil, Indonesia and India during the review period.
Brazil, Indonesia and India are expected to report decline in coffee output to 49.2 million bags, 11.66 million bags and 5.19 million bags respectively.
Other major coffee producing nations including Costa Rica, Kenya and Uganda are also expected to report drop in coffee production this year.
Coffee output in Vietnam, the world's second largest coffee producer behind Brazil, and Ethiopia, however, is likely to register growth in 2013-14 marketing year.
The report also predicted 3.8% decline in Arabica production to 85.4 million bags and 7.2% rise in Robusta production to 60.3 million bags during the current crop year.
