(Bloomberg) --

Compares with 54% a year before and 5-year average of 58%, consultancy firm Safras & Mercado says in emailed report.

Harvest was at 39% a week earlier
Total of 29.5m bags were harvested, considering total production estimate of 61.1m bags
Arabica coffee harvest is 40% done, compared with 42% a year earlier
Robusta coffee harvest is 63% done, compared with 73% a year earlier and average of 79%
Stronger output, slower grain maturation and workforce difficulties are among the factors leading to a slower harvest, Safras & Mercado says
