GUATEMALA CITY: Coffee exports from Central America, Colombia, Peru and the Dominican Republic fell 8.1 percent in November compared to the same month last year, Guatemala's coffee association Anacafe said on Monday.

Total shipments from the region for the month totaled 1.87 million 60-kg bags, Anacafe said.

The figure excludes coffee exports from Mexico since the country's coffee association AMECAFE has yet to publish November shipments.

Anacafe, which collates figures from the mostly arabica growing region, said exports through the first two months of the current 2013/2014 harvesting season totaled 3.8 million bags.
