Hedging pressure hypothesis vs. theory of storage

“The coffee market had a global harvest that was greater than expected. Despite the large harvest, coffee futures trading activity is balanced between producers and consumers. This balanced condition is not expected to change over the next year.”

I would have expected the above statement to be in line with the hedging pressure hypothesis, but the book says this more relates to the theory of storage

Physical assets have to be stored, and storage incurs costs (rent, insurance, inspections, spoilage, etc.). Therefore, a commodity that is regularly stored should have a higher price in the future (contango) to account for those storage costs.
