Nicaragua's coffee production for the 2025/26 market year is forecasted to be around 2.58 million bags, aligning with historical trends. Rising prices have prompted farmers to enhance fertilization and field care, which, coupled with favorable rainfall, boosts harvest expectations. Export predictions indicate an increase to 2.42 million bags, primarily headed to the U.S. and the EU. However, challenges like labor shortages and logistical bottlenecks could impact exports. Arabica remains dominant at over 95% of production, and average yields are expected to maintain at 18 bags per hectare.
Rising international prices have encouraged farmers to increase fertilizer use and improve field maintenance, leading to a stable coffee forecast in Nicaragua for 2025/26.
Total exports are projected to slightly rise to 2.42 million bags for 2025/26, despite ongoing labor shortages and logistics issues in Central America.
