September arabica coffee (KCU25) Wednesday closed down -0.75 (-0.26%), and September ICE robusta coffee (RMU25) closed down -58 (-1.58%).
Coffee prices on Wednesday added to this week's losses, with Sep arabica coffee falling to a contract low and the nearest-futures (N25) contract dropping to a 7-1/2 month low. The advancing coffee harvest in Brazil is also weighing on coffee prices. Brazil's Cooxupe coffee co-op announced today that its members reported the coffee harvest was 31% complete as of June 27, compared with 42% completed at the same time last year. Additionally, forecasts for dry conditions over the next five days in Brazil's coffee-growing regions are expected to further boost the harvest. Cooxupe is Brazil's largest coffee cooperative and Brazil's largest exporter of coffee. Also, Safras & Mercado recently reported that Brazil's 2025/26 coffee harvest was 35% complete as of June 11, slightly behind last year's comparable level of 37% but in line with the 5-year average of 35%. The breakdown showed that 49% of the robusta harvest and 26% of the arabica harvest were complete as of June 11. Brazil's arabica harvest has been slowed by heavy rain in some areas.
