Brazilian Coffee Exports Rise 3.1% in Volume but Revenue Falls 7.1%

Brazilian coffee exports totaled 3.894 million 60-kg bags in September, up 3.1% from the same month last year, according to the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council (Cecafé).

Revenue from shipments totaled $1.282 billion, down 7.1% year over year. The higher volume in September “reflects the resumption of shipments to the United States after uncertainties ended following the removal of tariffs imposed on Brazilian coffee last July,” Cecafé President Márcio Ferreira said in a statement.

“In November 2025, the U.S. removed tariffs on most Brazilian coffee products, but soluble coffee remained subject to tariffs until July this year.”

From January through September, Brazil exported 29.095 million bags of coffee, a volume that was virtually stable (-0.2%) compared with the same period last year. Export revenue fell 8.6% to $10.113 billion.

“Since August, we have seen new-crop coffees becoming available for export, and the pace of international trade has been normalizing, with a tendency to grow and surpass what we recorded last year by the end of 2026,” Ferreira said.

Brazilian Coffee Exports by Type and Destination

Arabica coffee led Brazil’s exports between January and September, totaling 20.739 million bags, Cecafé said. The volume accounted for 71.3% of the total, despite falling 10.7% year over year.

Shipments of conilon and robusta coffee totaled 5.162 million bags, or 17.7% of the total, during the first nine months of the year.

Compared with the same period of 2025, exports of these varieties increased 68.3%.

Soluble coffee exports totaled 3.141 million bags, or 10.8% of the overall volume. Meanwhile, the roasted and roasted-and-ground coffee segment shipped 53,412 bags, accounting for 0.2% of the total.

The United States overtook Germany to regain its position as the leading destination for Brazilian coffee exports in the year to date.

U.S. buyers purchased 3.805 million bags during the period, 12.8% less than in the same period last year, but still accounting for 13.1% of all coffee exported by Brazil from January through September 2026.

Germany imported 3.307 million bags, representing 11.4% of the total. The volume was down 11.4% year over year.

Italy followed with 2.597 million bags (+11.6% year over year), Belgium with 2.463 million bags (+44.5%) and Japan with 1.451 million bags (-23.3%).
