Arabica Coffee Futures Hit 4-Week Low

2026-01-20 15:22 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Arabica coffee futures eased to below $3.45 per pound, the lowest since December 19, 2025, on positive expectations for Brazil’s upcoming crop.

Dealers said that estimates for Brazil's 2026/27 crop remain broadly unchanged between 70-80 million bags, with weather conditions generally favorable.

Most recent forecasts indicated more rain for the country's main coffee-growing regions this week.

The 2026/27 crop has benefited from better weather than in previous years, but irregular rains in the Cerrado Mineiro and Mogiana regions remain a concern.

Milder temperatures have supported plant growth, raising hopes for recovery after five consecutive seasons of negative climate impacts.

The upcoming harvest also falls within a “positive biennial cycle,” boosting optimism among growers.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council (Cecafé) reported Brazilian coffee exports reached a record revenue of $15.6 billion in 2025, even with a 21% drop in export volume compared to prior years.

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.
