BOGOTA (Reuters) -Colombia closed its best coffee year in more than three decades, boosted by favorable weather conditions and the impact of crop renewal, although production is expected to decline in the upcoming cycle, the National Federation of Coffee Growers said on Tuesday.

Coffee production in the world’s third-largest producer after Brazil and Vietnam, rose 17% year-on-year to 14.87 million 60-kg bags between October 2024 and September 2025, exceeding the country’s estimated annual output of 14 million bags.

“We are now beginning the 2025/2026 coffee cycle, which, due to the natural physiological response of the coffee tree and significant rainfall in the first half of the year, is projected to be a year of lower production,” federation manager German Bahamon said on X.
