India's coffee output is likely to fall short of an earlier forecast after below-normal rains during the four-month monsoon season hurt crops, the Coffee Board said in a report published November 4, 2026.

The board did not give a revised production figure, the size of the expected shortfall, or the level of the earlier forecast it expects output to miss. It also did not name the growing regions most affected.

India is a robusta producer, and the December harvest is the main crop of the season, though the report did not connect the shortfall to a specific harvest.
