Heavy rainfall in June and July has impacted the quality of Brazil's 2026-2027 coffee harvest, according to Marcio Ferreira, chairman of the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council. The council's representative told RIA Novosti that the significant rainfall, primarily in late June and July, has led to reduced amounts of premium coffee, depulped coffee, and specialty coffee.
Ferreira noted that the heaviest rainfall was concentrated in southern Minas Gerais state, specifically in the Cerrado Mineiro region, as well as partially in the Mogiana region. Additionally, the rains have caused delays in the harvesting process. While Ferreira explained that the impact of the rainfall will only be apparent after the entire harvest is completed, it is anticipated that the harvest will be finalized in early September.
Following the completion of the harvest, the volume of coffee in various quality categories available for market supply in the current season can be evaluated.
