Allana Consumer expects coffee exports to slow in FY26 on volatile markets

Allana Consumer Products Ltd, the country's fourth-largest coffee exporter, expects exports to slow to 22,000-25,000 tonnes in the current fiscal year due to volatile global markets, a senior company official said on Tuesday. The company exported 26,300 tonnes of coffee in the 2024-25 financial year. "We have done around 11,000 metric tonnes of green coffee exports until the end of August. We hope to do anything between 11,000 and 15,000 for the rest of the year," C P Bopanna, associate director of Allana's coffee division, told PTI. Allana has scaled back export volumes over the past two years as market volatility has made it difficult to plan growth, Bopanna said. "Past 1-1.5 years, we have seen the kind of volatility that we have not seen in the past 40 years. It is very difficult to project or even make a strategy saying I am going to grow at 5 or 10 per cent per annum," he said. The company is prioritising profit margins over revenue growth as it navigates uncertain markets,
