According to Reuters and Barchart, Arabica coffee futures prices on the ICE exchange fell due to forecasts of more beneficial rains in the top-producing country, Brazil.

Traders noted that recent rains have spurred the flowering process in some of Brazil’s coffee-growing regions, although more moisture is still needed. Additional rain is forecasted for the early days of October.

Above-average rainfall is expected to improve crop conditions and boost coffee yields. The meteorological agency Somar Meteorologia reported that Brazil’s largest Arabica growing region, Minas Gerais state, received 25.9 mm of rain in the week ending September 27, equivalent to 104% of the historical average. September is a critical flowering period for coffee trees in Brazil.

The market is awaiting details of the proposed meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to see if the 50% U.S. tariff on Brazilian coffee might be adjusted.

Brazilian media report that both governments are coordinating to set a time and format for a possible meeting, but no concrete decision has been made so far.

Mr. Marcio Ferreira, President of the Cecafe exporters association, stated that Brazilian coffee exports to the U.S. will continue to decline if the tariff remains in place.

However, the 50% tariff imposed by the U.S. on imports from Brazil has caused a sharp drop in ICE-certified coffee inventories, which has become a price-supporting factor.

ICE-monitored Arabica inventories have fallen to a 1.5-year low, standing at 571,754 bags as of September 29. Robusta inventories on the ICE exchange also dropped to a 2-month low of 6,464 lots as of September 19.

For Robusta, the market is under pressure as Vietnam’s exports have continued to grow strongly in recent months.

Data from the General Department of Vietnam Customs shows that in the first 15 days of September, Vietnam exported 37,454 tons of coffee with a turnover of $212.7 million, an increase of 60.1% in volume and 67% in value compared to the same period last year.

Cumulatively, from the beginning of the year to September 15, Vietnam’s coffee exports have reached a total of 1.2 million tons, corresponding to a record-high turnover of nearly $6.74 billion, an increase of 10.1% in volume and 61.8% in value compared to the same period in 2024.
