PIRACICABA, São Paulo, Brazil – The 2025/26 coffee crop harvesting has been progressing in Brazil, reinforcing the downward trend of prices in both domestic and international markets, says Cepea in its latest report. Thus, the decrease of coffee values in Brazil surpassed 20% in June.
The CEPEA/ESALQ Index for the arabica coffee type 6, delivered to São Paulo city, closed at BRL 1,834.36 per 60-kg bag on June 30, downing 21.47% compared to that on May 30. The CEPEA/ESALQ Index for the robusta coffee type 6, screen 13, EspÃrito Santo, decreased 20.75% in June, at BRL 1,105.07 per 60-kg bag on June 30.
It is worth noting that quotations for both varieties had been operating at record levels, in real terms. Therefore, price drops are related to an adjustment of the market, besides the progress of the harvesting.
Players say expectations of the new crop supply are high, since global inventories are limited. Concerning arabica, the new output may bring a relief, but only in the short-term, since the season is expected to be small.
Cecafé indicates that the volume of coffee shipped in May dropped 4.5% compared to April, totaling 2.96 million bags. The revenue obtained with sales amounted USD 1.24 billion, downing 7.7% in the same comparison.
In the accumulated of the 2024/25 season (from July/24 to May/25), the volume exported totaled 42.97 million bags, for a decrease of 2% compared to the same period of the 2023/24 crop (from July/23 to May/24). The revenue, in turn, is at the record of USD 13.691 billion (+52% compared to the crop before).
