SAO PAULO, Brazil – Rains have been a little more frequent this month, and temperatures are lower in practically all regions that produce arabica coffee in Brazil, reports CEPEA in its new fortnightly analysis. This scenario may slow down the 2025/26 harvesting, since the rainfall limits crop activities and the cold weather affects the bean ripening. It is worth noting that players surveyed by Cepea indicate that the weather has not reduced the coffee quality.
According to data from Cepea, the harvesting in the South of Minas Gerais was close to 20% of the total in early June. In the Northwest of Paraná, activities were between 25% and 30%, and in Alta Mogiana Paulista and in Cerrado Mineiro, from 7% to 10%.
Concerning robusta, the volume of rainfall has been smaller this month compared to May in producing areas. Therefore, the harvesting progressed more than what was verified for arabica, hitting between 40% and 45% of the total.
The CEPEA/ESALQ Index for the arabica coffee type 6, delivered to São Paulo city, closed at BRL 2,167.87 per 60-kg bag on June 16, downing 7.19% compared to that on May 30.
As for robusta, the CEPEA/ESALQ Index for the robusta coffee type 6, screen 13, EspÃrito Santo, decreased 8.64% in the same comparison, at BRL 1,273.96 per 60-kg bag on June 16.
