Coffee Crop Years (or cycles) are difficult to sync up to calendar years because of the seasonal nature of agriculture. Different climates and different geographies will have harvest seasons that don't line up with each other or the calendar year. This makes statistical analysis difficult when dealing with a traditional year, rather than the 12-month period that delineates a growing season.
