Porto Alegre, July 21st, 2025 – The harvest progressed well over the week, again benefiting from drier weather in much of Brazil’s coffee-growing regions. According to a weekly survey by SAFRAS & Mercado, through July 16, 77% of Brazil’s 2025/26 coffee crop had already been reaped, representing an 8% increase over the week earlier. The pace remains quite fast, surpassing the same period last year (74%) and also the five-year average (2020–2025), which is 69% for this time of year.
The canephora (conillon/robusta) harvest remains ahead of schedule, despite rainfall in some regions of Espírito Santo. The harvest has already reached 93% of production, approaching the final stretch and confirming initial expectations of a large crop. This performance is in line with the same period last year (93%) and also above the five-year average of 87%.
In the case of arabica, the harvest is also progressing at a good pace, with 67% of production already reaped—a 9% increase compared to the previous week. This progress is ahead of that registered in the same period in 2024 (65%) and remains above the five-year average of 60% for this time of year. Reports continue of weaker coffees in Minas Gerais, due to higher moisture this year, and lower-than-expected yields in the second half of the harvest, which could impact the final outcome. On the other hand, coffee screens have been wider than last year’s.
