According to the most recent reading from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Brazilian coffee production in 2026, considering both species, Arabica and Canephora, was estimated at 4.0 million tons, or 66.1 million 60 kg bags, representing increases of 1.6% compared to the previous month and 14.9% compared to the volume produced in 2025. According to IBGE, if the estimate is realized, it will constitute a record in the historical series of the survey, considering the period from 2002, when there was a change in the unit of measurement and coffee began to be reported in green beans. Compared to the previous month, the area is declining by 0.1% and the average yield is growing by 1.7%. Compared to the previous year, the area shows growth of 3.1% and the average yield, 11.6%. For Arabica coffee, the estimated production was 2.6 million tons or 43.9 million 60 kg bags. For Robusta coffee, the production estimate was 1.3 million tons or 22.2 million 60 kg bags, increases of 5.2% compared to the previous month and 6.0% compared to the volume produced in 2025, with increases of 3.7% in the area to be harvested and 2.3% in the average yield, in this last comparison. The estimated production for Robusta coffee in 2026 is a record in the IBGE's historical series. To date, the weather has favored the crops and the prices of the product have followed those of Arabica coffee in 2025, which also rose, encouraging producers to invest more in the crops.
