  Exports of arabica variety are expected to decline sharply because of lack of good quality produce, said Milan Shah, chief executive and managing director of Jayanti Group, which owns General Commodities Ltd, the country's largest coffee exporter.
  
  "So far exports are higher than last year due to good demand from European countries, but there's very little coffee left to be sold," he said.
  
  The country's coffee exports rose a modest 3.1 % in the first six months of 2008 to 132,846 tonnes. Total exports in 2008 are likely to be same as last year's 223,565 tonnes, he said.

  Arabica is being quoted at 102 rupees per kg, around 5 rupees (,0.13) higher than international prices, while robustas are higher by 2 rupees, Milan Shah, managing director of leading exporter Jayanti Group, told Reuters.
  
  "Prices have been higher, but I do not believe they are going up further and there will be parity by January, when the new crop starts trickling in," Shah said.
  ...
  "We can expect a major boost in exports only in the next 5 years or so when production is likely to rise due to a replantation package announced by the government ... there will not be substantial jump before that," Shah said.

  According to Mr Milan Shah of the Jayanthi Group, exporters are incurring losses between eight per cent and nine per cent in fulfilling their commitments.
  
  Trade sources said growers were reluctant to offer coffee at lower prices."Growers are not ready to scale down their prices.They may have to lower their prices by 8-9 per cent. Exporters are, therefore, reluctant to buy coffee," Mr Shah said.

  Speaking to FE, coffee export company Harris Jayanti vice-president Milan Shah said: "high coffee prices are hurting exports, as exporters took orders expecting that Indian prices would go up as much as international prices.But domestic rates went up much higher than international rates, making it difficult for exporters to compete globally.The exports this season are down by atleast 30,000 tonne compared to last year.
  
  In terms of value, exports are said to be hit by nearly 5% this season.
  
  Mr Shah said that while the industry estimates a volume growth of 5-6% in production this year, coffee growers are adopting a ‘wait-and-watch' approach to sell the stock if and when prices rise further.
