Coffee prices decline amid Brazil's record harvest and storage constraints
Over the past week, coffee prices have fallen sharply due to expectations of a record coffee harvest in Brazil, leading to increased supply. Additionally, most warehouses in Brazil are no longer accepting new coffee supplies as storage space fills up, suggesting that farmers holding back sales in hopes of higher prices will have to increase coffee sales as storage space dwindles.
Key points
- Arabica coffee futures closed down 3.67% on September 2, 2026, reaching a five-week low.
- Robusta coffee futures declined by 1.59% on the same day, hitting a 2.75-month low.
- Above-normal rainfall in Brazil may benefit flowering for next year's coffee harvest, potentially increasing future supply.
