Brazil: Coffee Annual
ATO/Sao Paulo forecasts Brazil’s coffee production for Marketing Year (MY) 2018/19 (July-June) record at 60.2 million 60-kg bags, an increase of 9.3 million bags relative to the previous crop. Good weather conditions supported fruit setting and filling, especially in Robusta growing regions. In addition, the majority of the Arabica trees are in the on-year of the biennial production cycle. Coffee exports for MY 2018/19 are expected to bounce back to 35.33 million bags, an increase of 4.91 compared to the previous MY, due to expected higher product availability.
