29/07: Brazil's Bumper Coffee Harvest Nears End


Brazil's bumper coffee harvest has gone smoothly this year and is almost entirely completed, says Gil Carlos Barabach, a coffee analyst at local agricultural consultancy Safras & Mercado. This season, the arabica harvest which began in around May, was spurred by attractive coffee prices, he
says. Barabach pegs the 2010-11 arabica and conillon crop at 54.6 million 60-kilogram bags. Carlos Santana, a trader at Santos-based exporter Interagricola, agrees that Brazil's harvest has gone well and was helped by favorable dry weather. The quality of the beans has been exceptional, he says.
Moreover, concerns about the development of the next 2011-12 coffee crop in Brazil have been eased by recent rains, he adds. Brazil is the world's No.1 coffee producer.
