Brazilian weather impacts coffee exports in 2021

Extreme Weather in Brazil

Over the last year, Brazil has been hit by a series of adverse weather conditions. In early 2021, drought swept the country which created a strained coffee season and low production. Then, in July and August of 2021, the main coffee-producing region was struck by an unusually bad frost leaving many of the coffee fields covered in ice.

 

Coffee production experts estimate 20% of Brazil’s coffee crops were lost because of the weather. With climate change worsening, farmers are expecting coffee production uncertainty to get worse as the number of extreme weather events increases each year.

 

Brazil is the world’s leading coffee exporter with almost double the exports of the second largest producer, Vietnam. With such a devastating impact on Brazil’s coffee production this year, the repercussions will be felt across the globe likely extending into 2023 and beyond.
