  "transcript": "Coffee prices have swung sharply as expectations for Brazil's record crop meet weather risks and tight supplies of higher quality beans. To discuss what's shaping the market, I'm joined by Leonardo Rossetti, Market Intelligence Analyst at StoneX Brazil. Leonardo, good to see you again. Hello, Johanna. Thanks for having me again. Of course. Um, so I want to start with Arabica prices because they climbed sharply into mid-August, then they fell again as Brazil's harvest picked up pace. What changed in the market's view? Yeah, uh, basically the the rally we saw in August was mainly driven by weather and short-term supply concerns. Uh, at the time, the market, uh, was increasingly pricing the possibility of a strong El Niño developing later this year. And at the same time, we had rains above average in Brazil during June and July. Um, and this became an important, uh, trigger for higher prices because those rains delayed the harvest and affected the coffee quality in several producing regions. Uh, another, another important factor was farmer selling. The Brazilians producer, Brazilian producers were well capitalized after the record, uh, record prices since last year. So they sold coffee at a slower pace than usual. All of this happened in a market that was already dealing with tight supplies, low inventories in consuming countries, and ongoing challenges among, uh, washed coffee suppliers such as Colombia. Uh, however, despite the quality issue caused by rains, Brazil is still producing a record crop. So, as the harvest advanced, the market began to see the size of that crop more clearly, uh, and then prices started to move lower again. A good example is Brazil's exports in August, with which, uh, reached, reached a record level and were 31% higher than August last year. Uh, the September numbers should be good as well. Uh, in addition, in addition, it's interesting because, uh, while the weather created these challenges for harvesting and drying the current crop, it has been very favorable for the next crop. So together to what we saw in June and July, over the last two months, rainfall in many in many producing regions has been much above normal in Brazil, uh, supporting flowering development and improving the outlook for the next year's crop. Uh, this is probably the most important bearish factor for the market at this moment. Okay, you have a report out right now. And in your report, you highlight that StoneX actually raised its estimates for Brazil's 2026/27 crop from 75.3 million to 77.2 million bags. Can you tell us what drove that revision? Right. Uh, the main reason, uh, was better than expected yields for it, uh, for the the coffee. Uh, weather conditions between late last year and early this year were generally favorable for crop development across Brazil. And it's good to remember here in Brazil, our team conducts extensive fieldwork, uh, throughout the country, visiting all the coffee producing regions. And this year we carried out, uh, a detailed yield study. Uh, we collected samples across several producing regions and, uh, and we carried out the drying and processing stages to evaluate the bean size and the weight after harvest. In addition, we spoke with a wide range of farmers and cooperatives to validate our findings and gain a better understanding of what, uh, happened with the in the field. Uh, and in the end, the results showed yields above our previous expectations, especially in Arabica producing regions. And based on those, based on those findings, we revised our production estimates higher, and which represents now an increase of, uh, 23.9% compared to last year. I see. Okay. There was, um, a rainy period that complicated things, though, right? June to July, it was the drying phase, which obviously could be detrimental to the quality of the beans, which leads me to ask about El Niño, which everyone's talking about. Your report describes Brazil's early outlook for 2027/28 as positive, even though a strong El Niño is developing. What gives you that confidence? Yeah, uh, the impact of El Niño on Brazilian coffee, uh, is not always the same. It depends on the year. Uh, but for Arabica coffee, El Niño is often associated with above-average rainfall, which is largely what we have seen this recent months. Uh, so far, these conditions have supported flowering and helped, uh, build a positive outlook for next crop. Uh, however, this final quarter of the year may bring some important risks. Uh, this is a critical period for bean development, and, uh, weather models suggest temperatures could remain above, above normal. Um, at the moment, soil moisture levels in the main Arabica regions are very good. Most of them are well above, uh, above average, uh, which should help trees to withstand these hotter conditions. Even so, it's something that we will monitor closely. Uh, I believe robusta producing areas may face a greater, greater challenges. Uh, those regions have also received, uh, adequate rainfall so far, but during El Niño years, they tend to become hotter and drier, uh, at a greater intensity than Arabica areas, especially towards the end of year. Uh, we know that many farms in Espírito Santo, for example, which is the Brazil's largest robusta producing states, have irrigation systems. Uh, however, if temperatures stay above, uh, 34° Celsius for an, for an extended period, the plants may lose water faster than they can absorb it. Yeah. Uh, this could create stress for the crop and deserves a close attention for these next months. I see. Okay, let's move beyond Brazil. Where do you see the most important weather and supply risks when we head into the fourth quarter? Right. Uh, I think the region facing the greatest challenges right now is, uh, Indonesia. Uh, it is the world, world's fourth largest coffee producer and the third largest producer of robusta coffee. Uh, the country has experienced very dry conditions and high temperatures in the recent months, uh, which could reduce the country's production potential for the next crop. Uh, Central America is another region we are watching closely. Uh, countries such as Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua have faced several months of below normal moisture. Uh, these regions are important suppliers of washed Arabica coffee, so more weather problems there could also affect, uh, crops over the region. And to conclude, I think Vietnam is also worth monitoring. Uh, the country is currently harvesting its crop. It should be a good crop, but the bigger concern is the next flowering cycle, which usually takes place in February and March, uh, because if El Niño remains strong into the early next year, it could affect rainfall patterns during that period. Uh, it's still too early to draw firm conclusions. However, it's, if weather models begin to to indicate below average rainfall during the flowering stage in Vietnam, the market could start, uh, pricing in that risk. I see.
