Downward spiral persists in exports of Lao coffee amid world price slump
The volume of coffee exports from Laos has decreased continually over the past couple of years due to a slump in coffee prices on the world market.
Total coffee exports in 2014 reached 26,000 tonnes at an estimated value of US$60 million (Bt16.6 billion), which fell slightly to 23,000 tonnes valued at $50 million in 2015, the Lao Coffee Association reported at its seventh congress in Champassak province last week.
