The 2026/27 coffee harvest has reached an average of 12% in the area served by Cooxupé, according to a survey conducted by the cooperative up to the 5th of this month. The pace of fieldwork is slower than the last two seasons, which at the same time were at 13.7% (2025) and 13.6% (2024). Currently, Cooxupé has 22,000 cooperative coffee growers and operates in 370 municipalities in the regions of Southern Minas Gerais, Cerrado Mineiro, Matas de Minas, and the middle Mogiana region of São Paulo state. Being the largest in Latin America, the weekly harvest pace is a barometer for the market operating in the coffee futures market. According to Cooxupé, in the last days of May, hailstorms hit some coffee-growing areas of Minas Gerais, anticipating some of this year's climatic problems and impacting fieldwork. Therefore, individually, the harvest is more advanced in the coffee plantations of São Paulo, where it has reached 18.3%. In the Matas de Minas and Sul de Minas regions, the work has reached 16% and 15%, respectively. In the Cerrado Mineiro region, the harvest is 5.3% complete.
