Brazil Ships a Record 5.33 Million Coffee Bags

October Sets a New Monthly Shipping Record

Brazil exported 5.33 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee in October 2026, an increase of 28.4% from October 2025. The Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council, Cecafé, reported on November 11 that it was the largest monthly shipment total in its series, which began in January 1990. The council attributed part of the increase to more new-crop coffee reaching the market in September and October after rain delayed harvesting.

Crop-Year Shipments Reach 16.59 Million Bags

The October figure brought shipments from July through October, the first four months of Brazil’s 2026/27 crop year, to 16.59 million bags. That was 19.7% above the same period a year earlier. Both figures cover all forms of coffee reported by Cecafé.

Buyer Perspective

Roasters using Brazilian coffee alongside an Ethiopian component can use the shipment report as a prompt to recheck supplier release dates. Confirm the approved lot and its usable date for each component before fixing the next production run. Brazilian export volumes describe one part of the supply chain. The local stock position and the Ethiopian allocation still need their own confirmations.
