Arabica Coffee Futures Hit 8-Month Peak

2025-10-22 10:59 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Arabica coffee futures pushed higher, topping $4.20 per pound for the first time since mid-February, fueled by concerns about global supply and the risk of new trade tariffs.

Arabica coffee stocks monitored by ICE, fell to the lowest level in 19 months, totaling 467,110 bags as of October 17.

Adding to woes, President Donald Trump may impose new tariffs on Colombia, a leading producer of high-quality Arabica coffee, amid a diplomatic dispute with Colombian President Petro.

The US gets about a fifth of its beans from Colombia and about a third from top grower Brazil.

Rising US-Colombia tensions come as dealers await updates on US-Brazil trade talks regarding a potential adjustment to the 50% tariffs on Brazilian coffee.

This uncertainty is prompting American buyers to delay new contracts, exacerbating the supply squeeze in the US.

Arabica Coffee Futures at 2024-Lows
Arabica coffee futures traded around $2.6 per pound, near the lowest since November 2024, pressured by expectations of increased supply in the near-term. Traders closely monitor the incoming 2026/27 harvest in top producer Brazil. Weather conditions remain favorable in Brazilian producing areas, with predominantly dry weather and high temperatures, which is favoring the progress of the harvest and reducing risks to production at this time. Even though it is still in its initial phase, the market is already anticipating a larger harvest, keeping prices under pressure. In late April, the Coffee Trading Academy forecast Brazil’s 2026/27 output to rise 12% year-over-year to 71.4 million bags. Meanwhile, the demand outlook is clouded by potential price increases tied to the ongoing US–Israeli conflict with Iran.
