Ivorian coffee exports fall

Ivory Coast coffee bean exports totalled 31,236 tonnes from October to January of the 2003-2004 season, down about 15 percent from the same period last year, port data showed on Friday.
Some 5,630 tonnes of coffee beans were exported in January, down 48.3 percent from a year ago, the data showed.
Some analysts in the country voiced concern at the state of coffee farming in Africa's largest robusta producer, where a civil war was officially declared over last July but rebels still hold the key western coffee growing region of Man.
