Honduran green coffee production is forecast to reach 6.03 million 60-kilogram bags in market year 2026/27, a 9% increase from the prior year. The increase is linked to improved plant nutrition, favorable biennial production cycles, expanded productive area, better crop management, and maturing plantations. Production is expected to rise from 5.53 million bags in 2025/26 to above 6 million bags for the first time since 2021/2022. Harvested area is forecast to grow from 310,000 hectares to 330,000 hectares, with bearing trees increasing from 2.0 billion to 2.1 billion. Exports are forecast to climb to about 5.50 million bags, while domestic consumption also increases and ending stocks build as production outpaces use and exports. Coffee leaf rust remains a concern, with national average incidence rising from 7.57% to 8.44% by March 2026.
