Trump's Tariff Removal Sparks Sharp Coffee Price Movements The global coffee market experienced significant price fluctuations following President Donald Trump's removal of 40% tariffs on Brazilian agricultural products, including coffee. Arabica coffee futures dropped sharply by 4.4% to $3.6020 per pound, hitting two-month lows, while robusta futures fell 4.2% to $4,438 per metric ton. This move aims to reduce U.S. retail coffee prices, which rose 40% annually by September 2025, contributing to inflation concerns. Despite the price plunge, supply risks remain due to La Nina weather impacts and recent floods in Vietnam's coffee-growing regions (The Daily Record, 11 December 2025; ...
Arabica and Robusta prices rebound on global supply concerns Global coffee prices rose on December 10, 2025, driven by renewed concerns over supply tightness in both Arabica and Robusta markets. On the New York ICE exchange, Arabica futures showed strong gains across all nearby contracts, with the December 2025 contract up 3.45 cents/lb to 399.50 cents/lb, while the May 2026 contract climbed 6.00 cents/lb to 354.80 cents/lb. The rally reflects growing market anxiety over Brazil’s 2025–26 Arabica crop, which is under pressure from prolonged dry conditions in Minas Gerais and irregular flowering patterns. At the same time, London Robusta also ...
Brazil Coffee Production Forecast Revised UpwardsBrazil's 2025/26 coffee harvest is projected to reach 56.54 million bags, marking the third-largest output on record despite a typical off-year for Arabica, according to Conab's updated estimate. Robusta production is expected to hit a record 20.8 million bags, while Arabica is forecasted to decrease by 9.7% due to adverse weather and flowering conditions in key regions.

The easing of the EU ...
Brazil Raises 2025 Coffee Production Outlook Brazil's 2025 Arabica coffee production forecast has been increased to approximately 35.8 million bags, up from the earlier estimate of 35.2 million bags, although still below the 39.6 million bags recorded previously. Brazil continues to cultivate both Arabica and Conilon (Robusta) coffee varieties, each with distinct profiles and harvest schedules. Domestic production combined with imports is exceeding strong local demand, with November sales reaching near-record levels. Despite high offtake, substantial imports have prevented significant stock depletion, leaving inventories above last year’s levels entering December (Argus Media, 8 December 2025).

ICE certified arabica stocks also increased to their highest ...
