HAWAII COFFEE MARKETINGS, VALUE DECREASE
FOR THE 2014-2015 SEASON
The final estimate for the 2014-2015 Hawaii coffee
marketings is 7.5 million pounds, 11 percent lower
than the 2013-2014 crop season. In crop acreage
totaled 8,600 acres and harvested acreage totaled
7,800 this crop season both declined 400 acres from
a year ago. Average yield is at 960 pounds per acre,
down by 60 pounds from previous year. The
statewide farm price for coffee averaged $6.70 per
pound (parchment equivalent basis) for the 20142015 season, an increase of 8 percent from the
2013-2014 season of $6.20 per pound. The farm
revenue for coffee is estimated at $50.3 million
(parchment equivalent basis) for this season, 4
percent less than last season. Coffee Berry Borer
(CBB) remains a concern for the industry, though
controlling measures are showing signs of progress.

Coffee harvesting occurs throughout the year in Hawaii. The main harvest normally begins in late summer and extends to the early
part of the following year.
2 Average yields based on parchment equivalent marketing and harvested acreage.
3 Expressed in parchment equivalent pounds. Coffee marketed in cherry form was converted to an equivalent parchment weight and
added to parchment marketing.
4 Represents an average farm price for parchment equivalent sales. Farm price is obtained by dividing farm revenues from the sale of
cherry and parchment coffee by total marketing (parchment equivalent basis).
