Will it be a coffee deficit in 2014?

From the March 2014 issue.

Coffee deficitIt’s been a hard fall from the top for Arabica prices over the past two years.
Long gone are the glory days of US$3.19 a pound in the New York ICE market, which marked a 14-year-high record in May of 2011. While the fall was slow, with Arabica continuing to trade at over $2 per pound for a full year, the party was over when the positive crop reports started flowing in.
