With Brazilian crops in an advanced stage of development and the start of the harvest approaching, the DATAGRO This March, DATAGRO consolidated its estimate for Brazil's 2026/27 coffee crop, pointing to a record production. According to the consultancy, Brazil is expected to harvest 72 million 60 kg bags of coffee in the current season, a 17.0% increase compared to the 2025/26 crop. Individually, Arabica production will reach 48 million bags (+31.5%) and Robusta 24 million bags (-4.0%). "The estimate follows the trend observed in the market throughout March, when several revisions and new projections for the 2026/27 crop began to indicate, on average, a significant recovery in national production, with a particularly positive outlook for Arabica," says DATAGRO. The average market estimate is 73 million bags. On the other hand, public agencies, such as the National Supply Company (Conab) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), currently project lower numbers: 66.2 million sacks and 64.1 million sacks, respectively. "Although there are still differences between the projected volumes, the set of estimates consolidates a more favorable outlook for the Brazilian harvest, reflecting the improvement observed in the crops after new field assessments and more favorable weather conditions in a significant part of the cycle," concludes DATAGRO.
