Coffee exports from Brazil ended up\nlosing some strength, which was already expected due to the crop change and\nlower production reaped in 2019\/20. In June, 2.64 million bags of green and\nsoluble coffee were shipped, down 33% from May, according to Secex, and down 15%\nfrom the same period last year. Thus, the country closes the first half of 2020\nwith 19.13 million bags shipped, down 4% from the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shipments throughout\nthe 2019\/20 business season hit 39.31 million bags, down only 1% from the\nprevious season. Coffee export revenue reached USD 4.98 billion, falling 4.5%\ncompared to last season. The numbers differ slightly from Cecaf\u00e9, which points\nto 39.93 million bags for the season (data from Cecaf\u00e9, including roasted\ncoffee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brazil\u2019s 20\/21 harvest is 71% complete, but well behind 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking\nadvantage of the drier weather, the harvest went up 8% last week. The weather must\nkeep favoring the coffee harvest and drying next week. Despite the good progress,\nthe harvest remains well behind the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nweekly survey by SAFRAS indicates that, until July 21, the harvest of the 20\/21\nseason in Brazil\nreached 71% of the estimated production of 68.10 million 60-kg bags. As a\nresult, 48.55 million bags have already been reaped. The work is below the same\ntime last year, when it reached 83% of production, but already very close to\nthe 5-year average of 72% for the period. The faster harvest pace in recent\nweeks justifies the approach to the average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the\ncase of arabica, the harvest is 63% complete, against 78% at the same time last\nyear and in line with the 5-year average. The average profile of the arabica crop\nkeeps indicating a season of good quality in terms of cup and bean\nsize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nconillon harvest is nearly over with 92% of production reaped. In general, it\nremains below the same period last year (94%) and also well below the 5-year\naverage (96%). Conillon production in Esp\u00edrito Santo is below expectations,\nwhich should lead to a downward revision in the state\u2019s outturn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Coffee exports from Brazil ended up losing some strength, which was already expected due to the crop change and lower production reaped in 2019\/20.
