(Bloomberg) --
Exports in September jumped 70% y/y to 235,765 bags, according to preliminary data from the Honduran Coffee Institute in Tegucigalpa.
In the 2020-21 season ended Sept. 30, shipments rose to 5.87m bags from 5.5m bags a year earlier; income surged to about $1.16b from $897m y/y
NOTE: Honduras is the biggest grower and exporter in Central America, and ranks fourth in the world among suppliers of the arabica variety, behind Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia
Arabica futures in New York surged more than 80% over the past year, boosted mainly by adverse weather across Brazilian fields that slashed yield prospects for this year, and possibly two more seasons
Each bag weighs 60 kgs, or 132 lbs
