Brazil: Coffee Annual
ATO/Sao Paulo projects Brazilian coffee production for Marketing Year (MY) 2019/20 (July-June) at 59.30 million 60-kg bags, a 5.5 million bags drop compared to record historical production in the former season (64.8 million bags). In spite of good weather conditions in the majority of growing regions, Arabica coffee trees are mostly in the off-year of the biennial production cycle, thus producing less. Coffee exports for MY 2018/19 are estimated at 39.72 million bags, again reaching again historical export levels, due to large production levels and steady competitiveness of the Brazilian product.
