Indian coffee exports fell in April, but performance exceeded seasonal average.

Indian coffee exports totaled 543,620 60-kilogram bags in April, according to data released by… Ministry of Commerce and Industry of IndiaThe volume represents a 0.65% decrease compared to the previous month. Despite the decline, the result was considered positive given the seasonal behavior of the market. Historically, April usually registers declines of around 20% in shipments, both in monthly comparison and in relation to the historical average for the period, reflecting the lower availability of the product after the advancement of the harvest's commercialization. The firmer pace of exports reflects the continued international demand for Indian coffee, although domestic availability is already beginning to show signs of restriction. For the coming months, the expectation is for a gradual slowdown in shipments, following the reduction of remaining stocks from the current harvest. The trend is that the export flow will remain more limited until the more significant entry of the new harvest into the market.
