The Mexican Coffee Institute, INME- CAFE was created in 1958 to help spread coffee cultivation to new land, as it was seen as a good source of foreign income. Between 1970 and 1982, land devoted to coffee increased by 141,203 hectares to a total today of more than 600,000 hectares in 12 states. National coffee production grew by roughly 6,000 tons of green coffee per year during that period. INMECAFE brought technical training and assistance to help farmers achieve higher produc- tivity and created successful structures to stabilize prices. It also encouraged the use of chemical fertilizers. Coffee production reached a high of 6.6 million 60kg bags in 1966 (compare to "optimistic" projections of 4.5-5 million bags for MY 2019 -2020), with internal consumption tripling over 10 years and coffee representing 20% of agricultural exports and 10% of total ex- ports nationally. Mexico was active on the world stage, instrumental in brokering the first of many coffee trade agreements that preceded the first ICA. But 1989 was a catastrophic year for Mexican coffee. Like many producing countries, it suffered from the dismantling of ICO, but in the same year, Mexico's new government also abolished the Mexi- can Coffee Institute, INMECAFE, under pressure from the World Bank. The damage report The steep drop in international prices, the rust epidemic from 2013-2016, and the excessive rainfall of 2015 brought on the worst crisis in Mexico's coffee pro- duction in four decades, according to both the Mexican Coffee Institute and the US Department of Agriculture. And while internal consumption in- creased, briskly promoted by the gov- ernment, the collapse of domestic pro- duction had, over time, led to mounting imports of lower-quality (largely for soluble) from Vietnam and Brazil. The production chains for this sector will not be easy to refill with home-grown coffee. Mexican producers have pulled them- selves up by their proverbial bootstraps to some degree, creating cooperatives of various sizes and strengths, notably the
