Members of the Expocacer cooperative have already harvested almost 15% of the cultivated coffee area.

The 2026/27 coffee harvest in the area served by the Cerrado Coffee Growers Cooperative (Expocacer) has reached approximately 15% of the total projected, according to a survey conducted up to last Friday (12). Expocacer is currently the third largest coffee cooperative in Brazil, behind only Cooxupé and Cocatrel. Its members own approximately 82,000 hectares of coffee plantations, with 72,300 hectares in the productive phase. The cooperative estimates a harvest of 2.859 million 60 kg bags this season in its area of operation – if the projection is confirmed, the volume will be almost 40% higher than that produced in the previous cycle. Expocacer also reported that, on that date, 57% of the fruits were at the cherry stage, reflecting the good water conditions recorded during the development phases of the crops. "The weather favored grain filling and ripening, supporting good prospects for crop productivity. The current scenario reinforces favorable prospects for both productivity and quality of coffee produced in the Cerrado Mineiro region," the cooperative reported.
