Brazil’s coffee exports rose 19.7% to 4.066 million 60-kg bags in September 2026, generating US$1.335 billion—up 3.4% year-on-year—according to Secex data released on 6 October 2026. However, January–September 2026 shipments totaled 26.796 million bags, 4.6% below the 28.099 million bags in the same period of 2025. Revenue for the nine-month period fell to US$10.037 billion from US$11.232 billion, a 10.6% decline. The September gain occurred despite one fewer working day than in September 2025.
According to www.canalrural.com.br, Brazil’s total coffee exports—including green and soluble coffee—reached 4,066 million sacas of 60 kg in September 2026, marking a 19.7% increase over the 3,397 million sacas exported in September 2025.
Monthly Export Performance
The data, released on 6 October 2026 by the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex) under Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services (MDIC), reflects 21 working days in September 2026 versus 22 working days in September 2025. Despite the one-day reduction, export volume advanced significantly year-on-year.
In foreign exchange revenue, coffee exports generated US$ 1.335 billion in September 2026—a 3.4% rise from US$ 1.291 billion in September 2025. Secex attributed the growth to both higher shipment volumes and favorable pricing conditions during the month.
The uptick contrasts with broader calendar-year trends, as monthly strength did not offset earlier declines. The September surge alone was insufficient to reverse the cumulative shortfall for the first nine months of 2026.
Year-to-Date Decline Persists
From January through September 2026, Brazilian coffee exports totaled 26.796 million sacas, falling 4.6% below the 28.099 million sacas shipped in the same period of 2025. The volume gap widened despite the strong September showing.
Revenue followed a similar downward trajectory: the nine-month faturamento stood at US$ 10.037 billion, down 10.6% from US$ 11.232 billion in January–September 2025. This indicates weaker average prices or reduced demand in key markets across the first three quarters.
While September’s rebound signals short-term resilience in global demand, the accumulated decline underscores structural pressure on Brazil’s coffee export performance through most of 2026—highlighting volatility in international commodity markets and seasonal supply dynamics.
