Brazil exported 235,800 tons of green coffee in September, reaching its highest volume in 20 months.
The total marked the largest export volume recorded for the South American nation in 20 months. Meanwhile, figures from Brazil’s Secretariat of Foreign Trade, Secex, indicated that green coffee exports reached approximately 107,900 tonnes—equivalent to about 1.8 million 60-kg bags—during just the first eight working days of the month, moving at an average daily export pace roughly 51.5 percent higher than the comparable period a year earlier and generating roughly US$584.6 million in revenue.
Export Volumes Climb 20.4 Percent
The export tally climbed 20.4 percent compared to the same period in 2025.
Harvesting operations faced delays earlier due to rainfall, holding back supplies that have now flooded the export pipeline. Global markets monitored the steady outward flow as seasonal supplies reached overseas destinations.
Secex numbers suggest that availability for export remains significant despite concerns about domestic stocks and the size of the crop. Cecafé figures present a more cautious picture of actual shipment activity. The average shipment rate stood at approximately 72,100 bags per day. Arabica remained the largest component, with 742,186 bags shipped during the month. Brazil continued to cement its position as the world’s leading producer and exporter of coffee as the average daily export pace reached approximately 13,500 tonnes, roughly 51.5% higher than during the comparable period a year earlier.
High Shipment Volumes Offset Falling Export Prices
That revenue gain occurred even as market prices softened. The average export price declined 9.8 percent compared to the previous year, but the sheer volume of coffee shipped offset the price reduction and lifted overall earnings.
