The more limited availability of bean This has been helping to keep prices supported in the Brazilian market, both for carioca and black coffee. This scenario occurs during a transition period between the end of the third 2025/26 harvest and the beginning of the next season in the South of the country. According to data released by the Center for Advanced Studies in Applied Economics (Cepea), sellers continue to restrict the quantity available for negotiation, while buyers adopt a more cautious approach to their purchases.
In the case of carioca beans, the market is trying to interrupt a series of price decreases observed in the last three months. According to Cepea, agents are seeking to recover prices after this period of decline. With the harvest of the third crop coming to an end, sellers have begun to test higher prices, while buyers are analyzing opportunities more carefully before closing new deals.
The combination of lower supply and little willingness to buy immediately slows the pace of negotiations, but also hinders further, more significant price drops. The behavior of black beans shows a similar dynamic, although the demand for higher quality product has gained importance.
According to Cepea, prices for type 1 black beans remain supported even with slow sales. During the off-season, demand for quality beans helps support current prices. In addition to the natural reduction in availability after the harvest, producers in the Southern region are already starting to focus on planting for the next season.
