The Council of Coffee Exporters of Brazil (Cecafé) released its monthly statistical report, revealing that Brazil exported 3.977 million bags of coffee (60 kg) in January 2025. This number represents a small reduction of 1.6% compared to the same period in 2024. However, foreign exchange revenue had a significant increase of 59.9%, jumping from US$ 823 million to US$ 1.316 billion.
Although the volume exported decreased slightly, the export performance in January was considered positive by Márcio Ferreira, president of Cecafé, given the current off-season conditions and persistent logistical challenges. The substantial increase in revenue, around 60%, is attributed to the continued rise in coffee prices, observed for some time now.
Arabica coffee continues to be the main type exported, representing 82.4% of the total (3.278 million bags), with a slight decrease of 0.3% compared to January 2024. Exports of Canephora coffee (conilon + robusta) fell by 28.9%, totaling 328,074 bags (8.3% of the total). Soluble coffee performed well, with an increase of 24.8% in exports (365,598 bags, representing 9.2% of the total). Roasted and ground coffee also showed significant growth (+156.6%), although it represents only 0.1% of total exports.
Ferreira explained the drop in canephora exports by the greater competitiveness of Vietnamese coffee since the beginning of that country's harvest in November. He predicts that this trend will continue, at least, until the beginning of the Brazilian conilon and robusta harvest in May. In addition, Cecafé's president noted that other origins of Arabica coffee have been more competitive than Brazil, especially in relation to fine natural coffees and larger screen sizes. It is expected that this dynamic, in terms of volume, will persist until the entry of the next Brazilian Arabica crop.
The main destinations for Brazilian coffee in January include those listed in the report, with emphasis on the increase in green coffee exports to Vietnam and Indonesia, despite the greater competitiveness of coffees from these countries. This increase is due to contracts closed in 2024, when Brazilian conilon and robusta were more competitive. Delays in shipments due to logistical bottlenecks in Brazilian ports are also a relevant factor. The trend is for a reduction in these shipments to Vietnam and Indonesia. Coffees with quality or sustainability certification represented 25.4% of exports (1.012 million bags), an increase of 24.5% compared to January 2024. Revenue from these specialty coffees was US$ 393 million, an increase of 113.1% compared to the previous year. The Port of Santos continues to be the main outflow point for Brazilian coffee, followed by the port complex of Rio de Janeiro and the Port of Paranaguá.
From July 2024 to January 2025, Brazilian coffee exports totaled 30.147 million bags, generating revenue of US$ 8.522 billion. These numbers represent increases of 11.3% in volume and 60.3% in revenue, respectively, compared to the same period of the previous crop year. These results are the highest in history for this seven-month period and were driven by record exports of green and industrialized coffee, with emphasis on soluble coffee.
