Brazil exported 35.626 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee to 117 countries in the 2022/23 crop year, down 10.2% from the 39.691 million bags exported between July 2021 and June 2022. The export revenue totaled US$8.135 billion, remaining virtually unchanged from the US$8.136 billion generated in the previous cycle. The data are part of the statistical report of the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council, Cecafé.

In the first half of 2023, coffee exports from Brazil reached 16.226 million bags and generated US$3.547 billion, presenting declines of 18.9% in volume and 23.8% in value.

The president of Cecafé also celebrates the stability of the export revenue with Brazilian coffee exports in the recently closed 2022/23 crop year. “Brazil is the country that most passes on the export price (Free on Board) FOB – the value quoted at the port of origin – to producers. In recent years, this index has been 85% for Arabica and 93% for Conilon, strengthening the concept of sustainable income for Brazilian coffee growers,” he explains.

The chart below shows Brazilian coffee exports (HS code 0901) between Jan 2019 and May 2023 measured in tonnes, according to the DataLiner data service.
