Explanatory Note for the Coffee Production Report

For each year, the Secretariat uses statistics received from Members to provide estimates and
forecasts for annual production, consumption, trade and stocks. As noted in paragraph 100
of document ICC 120-16, these statistics can be supplemented and complemented by data
from other sources when information received from Members is incomplete, delayed or
inconsistent. The Secretariat also considers multiple sources for generating supply and
demand balance sheets for non-Members.

The Secretariat uses the concept of the marketing year, that is the coffee year commencing
on 1 October of each year, when looking at the global supply and demand balance. Coffee-
producing countries are located in different regions around the world, with various crop
years, i.e. the 12-month period from one harvest to the next. The crop years currently used
by the Secretariat commence on 1 April, 1 July and 1 October. To maintain consistency, the
Secretariat converts production data from a crop year basis to a marketing year basis
depending on the harvest months for each country. Using a coffee year basis for the global
coffee supply and demand, as well as prices ensures that analysis of the market situation
occurs within the same time period.

For example, the 2014/15 coffee year began on 1 October 2014 and ended 30 September
2015. However, for producers with crop years commencing on 1 April, the crop year
production occurs across two coffee years. Brazil’s 2014/15 crop year began on 1 April 2014
and finished 31 March 2015, covering the first half of coffee year 2014/15. However, Brazil’s
2015/16 crop year commenced 1 April 2015 and ended 31 March 2016, covering the latter
half of coffee year 2014/15. In order to bring the crop year production into a single coffee
year, the Secretariat would allocate a portion of the April-March 2014/15 crop year
production and a portion of the April-March 2015/16 production into 2014/15 coffee year
production.

It should be noted that while estimates for coffee year production are created for each
individual country, these are made for the purpose of creating a consistent aggregated
supply-demand balance for analytical purposes, and does not represent the production
occurring on the ground within the individual countries.
