KENYAN COFFEE NEEDS RAIN, TRADERS SAY Kenya's late coffee crop is flowering well, but the main coffee areas were generally dry and hot in the week ended Wednesday, trade sources said. "Machakos, Embu, Meru and Kirinyaga in eastern Kenya, and Nyeri and Thika in central, have been dry in the past week. The farmers expect rain this week. If it does not fall output of the late (October-November-December) crop will decline sharply," one source said. He said that since most growers did not irrigate their crop they could do nothing but wait for rain, the main factor which determines Kenyan coffee production. Two months ago the International Coffee Organization issued a forecast of Kenyan exportable coffee production in the 1986/87 (Oct-Sept) season at 1.82 mln bags.
