Weekly Brazil green coffee market reports from the Rockmart trading desk: prices, harvest, logistics and EUDR.
The European Commission has clarified who does what across the coffee supply chain, eased downstream paperwork and added soluble coffee to the scope — but the EUDR deadlines hold: Dec 30, 2026 for large/medium operators, June 30, 2027 for micro/small. For the operator placing coffee on the EU market, full due diligence and geolocation stay intact.
Brazil's record 2026/27 harvest all but wraps up, yet ICE certified stocks near a late-2023 low and a 50% U.S. tariff keep arabica firm around 324 cents/lb. Conab sees a record 66.7M-bag crop; July exports rose 9.9% as robusta surged and arabica hit its weakest July since 2018.
