Colombia coffee output down 20 pct in April to 834,000 bags

Exports for April totaled 936,000 bags, up 1 percent compared to the same month in 2016.

Though production and exports in 2016 were battered by a 45-day truckers' strike as well as damage to many coffee trees from the El Ni?o weather phenomenon, the Andean country recorded total output of 14.23 million bags.
