Brazil should harvest more than 54.7 million bags of coffee in 2023. According to the National Supply Company (Conab), it is an increase of 7.5% compared to last year and 14% compared to 2021. The expectation for Arabica coffee, the most popular type, is that almost 38 million processed bags will be harvested, which represents 70% of coffee production in the country. Already conilon coffee should have a production of 17 million bags, a reduction of 7.6% when compared to the past harvest. Even with the expected increase in the harvest of Rondônia, Bahia and Mato Grosso it will not be enough to compensate for the losses in Espírito Santo. According to Conab’s Crop Monitoring manager, Fabiano Vasconcellos, production recovered this year with the improvement of weather conditions in 2022, after a difficult year in 2021. “In the 2022 harvest, the crops were unable to express their potential productive, mainly due to the weather conditions that occurred in 2021. So, for this crop, despite being a year of negative biennial [oscilação da produção para baixo], the productivity recovers in relation to the previous harvest and some of this effect is due to the management that the producers carried out in 2021, when they had severe frosts, and in 2022 as well”. Exports between January and April fell 20% this year. According to Conab, stocks were restricted at the beginning of the year, due to low production in previous years. For the second half of the year, the forecast is for inventories to recover and exports to recover.
