The reais rose strongly by 1.46%, the exchange rate rose to 1 USD = 4,0450 reais due to the caution of foreign investors before the pandemic and information about corruption, combined with concerns from outside when Inflation in North America is high, which may prompt the Fed to consider raising USD interest rates earlier than expected.
Arabica coffee prices continue to weaken as the harvest of the new crop in Brazil enters the final stage, combined with information that Colombia has opened the transport of coffee to export ports.
On the contrary, after the shock increase since last week due to the fear of supply shortage from leading producers has temporarily subsided, the price of Robusta coffee has skyrocketed again on the news that there is a possibility of frost in the world. The entire state of Paraná and the Midwest account for more than 26% of Brazil’s Conilon Robusta production.
The problem is that the new Conilon coffee harvest in Brazil is almost complete, so the damage on Robusta coffee trees in Paraná is mainly for next year, while in the Midwest Brazil is significant. While the main crops in the state of Paraná are corn and sugarcane, there is only about 36,000 hectares of coffee with an average production of 900,000 bags per year.
