4 • Projections likely to fall CLERA projected production of 198 kMT of alubia, 199 kMT of black beans, 50 MT of DRKB and 44 kMT of cranberries but these were made before the worst of the weather. “It’s still early to say how much volumes will fall,” says Zoppi, “and we could see more frosts that may damage yields and quality.” 5 • Big drop in alubias “For alubias, I think we’ll see the smallest export stock in the last 10 years,” says Zoppi. “We’re expecting around 80 or 90 kMT.” This would represent a 42% or 36% drop from CLERA’s February projection of 140 kMT for exportable alubias and a 20 kMT drop from last year‘s exportable total.
