The decline was 51.3% in volume, totaling 1.09 million 60-kilogram bags. There was an 8% drop in revenue in the current period compared to the previous one, with USD 210.5 million.

However, in terms of total exports, Brazil achieved record revenue of USD 8.1 billion, representing a 38.7% increase compared to the 2020/2021 cycle. In favor of revenue, one of the main factors was the appreciation of the US dollar against the local currency, the real. The total volume in the 2021/2022 harvest was 39.6 million bags shipped worldwide, a 13.3% reduction.
