Arabica Coffee Futures at Near 1-Week High

2025-10-13 14:23 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Arabica coffee rose to near $3.84 per pound, the highest in nearly a week, as markets monitored weather conditions for Brazil’s 2025/26 harvest amid tight supplies.

Traders stayed cautious as Brazil enters the critical flowering period for the 2026 crop, despite recent beneficial rainfall following a spell of intense heat in key coffee-growing regions.

Cecafé data added to worries, showing green coffee exports fell 18.4% in September year-on-year, with Brazil shipping 2.97 million bags — a roughly 10% decline.

The decline was exacerbated by the US 50% tariff on Brazilian coffee, which sharply reduced shipments to the world’s largest consumer and main importer of Brazilian beans.

In September, the second month with the tariffs in effect, US coffee imports from Brazil fell 52.8% year-on-year to 332,831 bags.

Investors await talks between the Brazilian and US presidents, expecting discussions to include coffee trade issues.

Arabica Coffee Futures Below $3 per Pound
Arabica coffee futures have traded below $3 per pound since late March, amid expectations that the next harvest will continue to develop well in top grower Brazil, improving supply prospects. Dry weather conditions prevail in the main producing regions between the Southeast and Bahia, although scattered rains are being reported, which should support crop growth by improving soil moisture and overall crop conditions. Dealers noted that farmers are holding back sales ahead of an expected bumper harvest, while also monitoring prices, exchange rates and margins. Meanwhile, the geopolitical turmoil continues to impact costs and logistical security, creating a climate of great uncertainty and increasing volatility. The International Coffee Organization (ICO) said recently that rising fertilizer prices linked to geopolitical tensions pose a risk of pushing up costs for coffee growers worldwide and could impact production.

Arabica Coffee Futures Hover Around 1-Week High
Arabica coffee futures traded around $2.95 per pound, hovering at one-week highs, mainly supported by the Brazilian real's strength, a factor that reduces the country's export competitiveness and tends to limit external supply. Still, expectations for an ample crop this year from top grower Brazil continued to weigh. The market remains focused on weather conditions ahead of next month’s harvest, with crop development so far mostly favorable, reinforcing expectations of strong output. In Colombia, the world’s second-largest arabica producer, output fell 29% year-on-year to 754,000 tonnes in March due to heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions remained closely monitored due to their potential impact on logistics costs.
