Canephora coffee harvest supports the pace of work in coffee plantations

Brazil's coffee harvest reached 39% of the total estimated for 2026/27 by June 17, with work in the canephora grain areas slightly advanced, partially compensating for the delay due to rain in Arabica crops, consultancy firm Safras & Mercado reported this Friday.

The harvest number represents an increase of nine percentage points compared to the previous week. Despite the progress, the pace remains below that recorded in the same period last year, when 43% of the crop had been harvested, and also slightly lower than the average of the last five years (40%).

Considering only canephoras (conilon/robusta), the pace accelerated with work in Espírito Santo, the main Brazilian producer of this coffee, reaching 59% of the country's production, slightly above the same period last year and also the average of the last five years (58%).

The Arabica harvest remains delayed, with work hampered by excessive rain. The index calculated by the consultancy was 29% of production, compared to 34% in the same period last year and 30% of the average of the last five years.

How does the producer finance the harvest in Brazil?
