India's 2016-17 coffee output seen down

India, the world's sixth largest coffee producer, is likely to harvest 320,000 tonnes of beans in 2016/17, down 8 percent from a year ago due to poor rainfall and higher temperatures, the state-run Coffee Board said. The country is likely to produce 100,000 tonnes of arabica and 220,000 tonnes of robusta in the 2016/17 marketing year that starts on October 1, the Board said in a statement on Friday.
