Exports fell 12 percent to 1.17 million bags.

Colombia's fourth-quarter coffee harvest could decrease 30 percent because of heavy rains, the head of the growers federation said last week, taking total output for the year to up to 14 million bags.

The Andean country recorded total output of 14.23 million bags in 2016.
