80% Of
The
2010-2011
Costa
Rica
Coffee
Crop Has
Been
Sold
The
Instituto
del Café
de Costa
Rica (ICAFE)
reports
that
more
than 80%
of the
2010-2011
coffee
harvest
ahs been
sold.
Given
this,
toasters
announce
shortages
and
higher
prices.
According
to the
chairman
of the
Cámara
de
Tostadores,
the
industry
is
alarmed
by the
latest
ICAFE
figures.
They say
that
only 16%
of the
2010-2011
harvest
is
available
for
purchase
for the
rest of
the
year,
threatening
the
national
coffee
supply.
The
toasters
worry
that
once
again
they
have to
purchase
coffee
beans
abroad
because
not
enough
is being
grown in
Costa
Rica.
The
worst is
the end
cost,
which is
passed
on to
consumers.
