The rains recorded in September have favored the development of the flowering of the 2027/28 crop. coffeeAccording to data released by Cepea, weather conditions confirm the positive expectations observed at the beginning of the month in most of the producing regions monitored by the Research Center.
The situation, however, varies between locations. According to researchers at Cepea, despite the favorable environment for flowering, producers are showing concern about the possible effects of El Niño in the coming months.
With the 2026/27 harvest concluded and a significant volume of lower-quality coffee harvested, despite high production, the 2027/28 season is also being closely monitored by market participants.
According to data released by Cepea, there is an expectation of a recovery in the production of higher-quality coffees in the new harvest. Therefore, the development of the plants and flowering is gaining importance for the prospects of the next season.
The September rains have contributed to the development of the flowering, but producers remain attentive to the weather conditions in the coming weeks.
The concern is mainly related to the possibility of high temperatures and dry periods associated with El Niño. According to researchers at Cepea, these conditions can influence flower setting if they occur during important phases of crop development.
Flower setting is one of the key factors in determining the next harvest. Therefore, even with current conditions considered favorable, producers will continue to monitor the weather.
The scenario could still change as weather conditions evolve in different producing regions. Therefore, the development of the flowering for the 2027/28 crop remains on the sector's radar.
