Lower coffee output in theworld’s fourth largest grower, which mainly produces robusta beans, could leadto more gains in prices, which have climbed over 40% in 2023 and hit a recordhigh in June.

The country’s weather agencyBMKG said the weather phenomenon, which typically brings prolonged hot and dryweather, is already affecting more than two-thirds of the nation, includingJava and parts of Sumatra, two key coffee producing areas.
