Cepea, June 1st – The large volume of rains in the Brazilian producing regions of arabica and robusta coffee in the second fortnight of May delayed harvesting activities and knocked down some coffee beans from the trees. Growers who had already started the harvesting of early coffee in the 2017/18 season had to halt activities, and those who had planned to start fieldwork decided to wait.
According to Cepea collaborators, for arabica coffee, the regions that were most affected were Zona da Mata Mineira and Paulista, with an estimate of 10% to 20% of bean drops in both regions
