In Brazil, green coffee exports in July fell 28.1% year-on-year, reaching only 2.45 million bags, including 1.98 million bags of Arabica (down 20.6%) and 461,192 bags of Robusta (down 48.9%). Cumulatively, in the first seven months of 2025, Brazil’s green coffee exports dropped 22.98%, totalling 19.9 million bags.

The late-winter cold spell in Southeastern Brazil raised concerns about light frosts, but it did not affect the 2025/26 crop as most had already been harvested.
