Brazil: Coffee Semi-annual

Brazil’s MY 2024/25 total coffee production is forecast at 66.4 million bags, 0.2 percent higher than the previous season. This timid growth comes in the aftermath of a strong period of adverse weather conditions in the main producing regions, which led to a decrease in initial estimates for the season. As a result, the country has experienced a decline in robusta production, which was offset by a slight increase in the expected production of arabica, which represents most of the total coffee harvest. Meanwhile, coffee exports in 2024 have hit record highs as Brazil expands its share of the global market, occupying a gap left by other large producers, such as Vietnam and Indonesia.
