The coffee harvest in Brazil advanced well this week, with conillon/robusta once again standing out. Mostly dry weather continues to favor the smooth progress of activities. According to weekly monitoring by SAFRAS, through May 28, 20% of the 2025/26 crop had already been reaped, accounting for an increase of 7% over the previous week. Last week’s significant pace brought the average closer to that registered in the same period last year, which was 22%, and is in line with the five-year average (2020–2025).
The canephora (conillon/robusta) harvest was the one that advanced the most, reaching 31% of the total production. This number is only slightly below that registered in the same period last year and the five-year average, both at 32%. Preliminary results remain positive, maintaining expectations of a large conillon/robusta crop, especially in Espírito Santo.
In the case of arabica, work also gained more intensity last week. The harvest has already reached 14% of total production, a figure lower than the 16% registered in the same period last year and slightly below the five-year average of 15%. A little more coffee is already starting to appear on the market, and buyers, faced with the expectation of a greater supply, have changed their stance and are now focusing on acquiring new-crop coffee.
