Brazil’s conilon coffee exports post best monthly result in a year
Brazilian exports of canephora coffee — the category that includes conilon and robusta — reached 851,200 60-kg bags in July, the highest monthly volume since August 2025.
The volume was up 84.4% from July 2025, when Brazil shipped 461,600 bags, according to data from Cecafé, Brazil’s coffee exporters council.
From January to July, canephora exports totaled 3.387 million bags, a 73.5% increase from the first seven months of 2025.
Cecafé said the harvest was delayed and shipments are accelerating later than usual. The same pattern is expected for arabica coffee.
Espírito Santo state accounts for close to 70% of Brazil’s canephora output. The news is not entirely positive for producers, however, because average conilon prices have been falling.
In January, the average price stood at $259.48 per bag. By July, it had dropped to $208.35. Export revenue in July totaled $177.3 million.
Another relevant development for Espírito Santo is the continued strength of instant coffee exports. The state has one of Brazil’s largest instant coffee production hubs.
In July, Brazil shipped 351,400 bags of instant coffee, maintaining the acceleration that began in February.
Instant coffee had been heavily affected by U.S. tariffs. The situation only began to improve after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s tariff hike in February. The United States recently announced new tariffs on Brazil, but instant coffee was left out of all of them.
Coffee sales to the United States also accelerated again in the first half of the year. They have not returned to 2024 levels, but they improved compared with 2025.
