Brazil's coffee exports have already surpassed last August's full-month volume, with shipments reaching 153.8 thousand tons by August 24, according to data from the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex).
The total exceeds the 142.9 thousand tons recorded for the entire month of August 2025, reflecting a significant acceleration in export activity. Daily average shipments climbed to 10.25 thousand tons, up from 6.8 thousand tons in August 2025, representing an increase of more than 50% in the daily export pace.
The surge coincides with Brazil's expected record harvest, following a slower-than-expected July due to rains that disrupted harvesting. The disruption earlier in the season contributed to tighter global supply conditions, supporting coffee prices. As of now, over 90% of Brazil's coffee fields have been harvested, with the focus shifting to flowering for the next crop cycle.
Meteorological forecasts indicate significant rainfall this week, particularly in the Cerrado Mineiro region, with effects extending to key arabica-producing areas such as Sul de Minas, São Paulo, and Matas de Minas. Additional showers expected in early September may further stimulate flowering in arabica-growing regions, analysts noted.
