Coffee on the Rise: Arabica and Robusta Gain Value in International and Domestic Markets

The coffee market closed Tuesday’s (04) session on a high note for both arabica and robusta, with price increases on the New York and London exchanges. Arabica futures saw significant gains, driven by concerns over global supply and Conab’s forecast of a 4.4% decline in Brazil’s 2025/26 harvest, expected to reach its lowest volume in three years. Additionally, the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the dollar contributed to the upward trend, making Brazilian coffee less competitive in the international market and, consequently, supporting global prices.

In the London market, robusta also saw gains, although more moderate compared to arabica. Futures contracts for the variety increased by up to $28 per ton, reflecting a tight supply and demand scenario. The rise in robusta prices comes at a time of uncertainty regarding the performance of Brazil’s harvest and major producing countries like Vietnam and Indonesia, which continue to face logistical and climatic challenges affecting trade.

In the domestic market, arabica type 6/7 and pulped natural coffee prices followed the international upward trend, with increases recorded in key producing regions of Minas Gerais and São Paulo. Varginha/MG stood out, where arabica reached R$ 2,630.00 per bag, while pulped natural coffee was traded at R$ 2,700.00 per bag, accumulating a gain of over 3%. This movement reflects producers’ reluctance to sell large volumes amid expectations of firm prices and tight stocks, which will likely continue to influence the market in the short term.
