Report Highlights:

El Salvador’s coffee production is expected to reach a historic low of 505,000 sixty-kg bags in marketing year (MY) 2019/20. The Salvadoran coffee sector continues to struggle mainly due to low international prices and continued coffee leaf rust. The MY2020/21 crop is forecast to decline even further to 475,000 bags. The COVID-19 pandemic quarantine is making it hard for the sector to carry out much needed post-harvest practices.
