Ecuador recorded an exceptional first three quarters, as is attested by record cumulative exports as at the end of October, up 5 % on 2016. The end of the year should be very different. The cold spell – relatively speaking – affecting the country is at least temporarily counterbalancing the productivity gains due to the plantation investments made. According to climatologists, this cool and cloudy weather could extend into the coming months, and continue to weigh down on the harvest until March 2018. So the Q1 seasonal production peak could be delayed, though still not reduced.
