News of coffee lovers .. Brazilian coffee production declines and high prices

Brazil’s coffee farms suffer from one of the worst droughts in its history, and farmers sold all their crops months before the new harvest season, while the prices of global coffee have multiplied, and reached their highest levels during the past fourteen months, according to the Traiding Review website.

High coffee prices

The prices of Arabica pills, which is the most popular grain, which is used in most grounded roasted coffee, increased by 70% in 2024, and about 20% this year 2025 to the highest level above $ 4.30 per pound on February 11.
The prices of Robosta, the second most popular grain, which are often used in instant coffee, increased by 72% in 2024, and reached its peak at $ 5847 per ton on February 12.

More consumption quantities

However, caffeine lovers ask quantities of coffee more than what is produced globally in 2025 for the fourth time in the past six years.
Brazil’s largest coffee farmers have finished their stocks to take advantage of standard exports in 2024, but Vietnam exports decreased by 17.2% compared to 2023, as the largest resource of coffee Robosta faced bad weather conditions last year.

Coffee stocks decline

“We have never had such low stocks in February what he says we did not achieve the required quantities of the new crop,” said William Cesar Ferria, Sales Manager at Cocabic, the third largest coffee cooperative in Brazil in the town of Franka, Sao Paulo.
Cocabic obtained 1.1 million bags of farmers in 2024, a decrease of 1.5 million bags in 2023 due to the decrease in production in the region after another year, which witnessed a decrease in rain in less than the average.
“Until the start of the next harvest season, we will not have much coffee to sell it, not only we, but it will be the case everywhere.”

Coffee is already sold

But things seem better productive in “Coxopi”, the world’s largest coffee cooperative company in Minas Gerais, the most productive coffee in Brazil, said André Silva Pinto, coordinator of the storage operations at Coxopi, said: “There is a lot of coffee in warehouses, but most of them are coffee that has already been sold to customers and here is only waiting for shipping.”

“The coffee farmers sold 90% of the 2024 crop and the rest of them were one of the least quantities,” added the company’s sales officer.
The stores can accommodate 2.6 million bags, each of which weighs 60 kg, which is equivalent to consuming one month in the United States, the largest country in the world in terms of coffee consumption.

Historical decrease in coffee stocks

Coxopathic sales estimates are compatible with recent data that show low stock levels historically, as the consulting company “Safras & Mercado” estimated that farmers sold 88% of the 2024 crop and that the remainder of the remainder is 8%.
Silva Pinto said that the Gabi complex will be 80% empty by May, as most of the coffee will be shipped.

The cooperative does not expect the new coffee crop to be ready to ship before July.
“Paulo Armelin”, who grows its crops near Patrosinho in the Serrado Mineiro area, is an exception as it maintains about 40% of its crops for 2024 as a precautionary measure.
Armelin, who sells high -quality coffee beans directly to four customers in the United States with a roasting company based in San Francisco and is waiting for an answer after requesting $ 4.50 for a pound for a rise of $ 3.05 last year.

Coffee prices currently

Luis Norberto Baskwal, the owner of the company “Datira Kofi”, which is a large company to produce high -quality coffee beans because young farmers are making more profits but question the possibility of sustaining current prices.
He added that many distributors, grinding companies and ports to the market will not be able to buy coffee pills and will search for ways to reduce costs and thus “will decrease quality.”
