The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) raised, this Thursday (11), its projection for the 2026/27 coffee harvest in Brazil to 66.8 million 60 kg bags, adding the Arabica and Robusta varieties. The previous estimate was 66.1 million bags. If confirmed, the volume will exceed by 16% the harvest in the 2025/26 crop and establish a new record in the historical series of the survey, considered from 2002, when there was a change in the unit of measurement and coffee began to be published in beans. Individually, IBGE now projects Brazilian Arabica coffee production this season at 44.4 million bags, an increase of 1.1% compared to the previous month's reading. For the Robusta variety, the Institute raised its estimate by 0.7%, to 22.4 million bags. DATAGRO Brazil projects its 2026/27 coffee harvest at 73 million bags, comprising 48 million bags of Arabica and 25 million bags of Robusta.
