Brazilian Coffee production

A stall in the production of Brazilian coffee this year might keep coffee prices steady, and any expectations that there will be a drop in the production of coffee will be around 20-30 percent

 The Cepea institute said that even if Brazil and Columbian output is expected to cut production for 2016-2017, stocks for 2017-2018 will be expected to remain constricted due to the drop of output that are coming from Vietnam and Indonesia

Cepea Stated that “In addition, world consumption is expected to increase,” and  looking much further in 2017 harvest “even without official estimates of Brazilian production… initial signs already indicate that it should be lower”, a study attached to Sao Paulo University.
