Why it matters to operators and investors

Read the export surge as volume-led rather than pricing-led, with dollar earnings up only 10%, and scrutinise exporters’ margins and working-capital needs before extrapolating growth.

What to watch next

  • Export volume growth continuing to exceed dollar earnings growth
  • Per-tonne export realisation recovering above ₹4.59 lakh
  • Exporters reporting increased working-capital borrowing
  • Lenders announcing tighter coffee trade-finance terms
  • Overseas buyers announcing deferred coffee orders
