Brazil’s coffee harvest reached 24.9% of the crop in areas monitored by Cooxupé by June 28, according to single-source reporting from CNN Brasil based on the cooperative’s weekly survey.
Cooxupé monitors harvest work across more than 370 municipalities in key producing regions, including southern Minas Gerais, the Cerrado Mineiro, Matas de Minas and the Média Mogiana area of São Paulo state. The cooperative says it has more than 22,000 coffee-growing members.
Regional Pace
The fastest pace was reported in Matas de Minas, where 30% of production had already been harvested by the end of June. Southern Minas Gerais followed closely, with 29.8% of the crop collected.
In São Paulo’s monitored areas, the harvest reached 26.5%. The Cerrado Mineiro region, one of Brazil’s important coffee-producing zones, was further behind at 16.2%.
The figures point to uneven progress across Brazil’s coffee belt rather than a uniform national pace. They also show that nearly one quarter of the crop in Cooxupé’s monitored area had left the field by late June.
Why It Matters
Brazil is one of the central suppliers in the global coffee market, and harvest timing can affect expectations for near-term availability of beans. The Cooxupé survey is watched because it tracks work in several of the country’s main producing areas through information reported by cooperative members.
The data do not represent all Brazilian coffee production. They cover the municipalities and regions monitored by Cooxupé, making the survey a useful regional indicator rather than a full national estimate.
Still, the weekly report offers a practical gauge of how the season is progressing during a period closely followed by coffee traders, exporters and roasters. Faster harvest progress can bring more coffee to market, while delays can affect expectations for supply timing.
A Gradual Advance
CNN Brasil reported that the cooperative described the harvest as advancing gradually in the country’s main coffee origins covered by its network. The latest number marks a rise from earlier weekly readings cited by the outlet, though the article did not provide a full historical table for comparison.
By June 28, Cooxupé’s consolidated monitored area had passed the 24% mark. The regional spread remained clear: Matas de Minas and southern Minas Gerais were near 30%, São Paulo was slightly above one quarter, and Cerrado Mineiro had harvested less than one fifth of its monitored crop.
For the coffee market, the next weekly surveys will help show whether the lagging regions accelerate and whether the overall pace moves closer to the levels expected for this stage of the Brazilian harvest season.
