The International Coffee Organization reports an 8.8% increase in global exports of green, unroasted coffee in August 2023, with robusta coffee driving this growth. This increase resulted in a 10.5% rise in total exports for the first 11 months of the 2023/24 season. However, exports from Vietnam, the world's largest robusta producer, experienced a 12.1% decline in August due to a domestic supply shortage, marking the seventh consecutive decrease. This shortage has caused the ICO Composite Indicator Price to reach its highest level in 47 years at $2.5890 per lb in September.
