  • Coffee Prices Decline Amid Favorable Weather and Rising Brazilian Crop Estimates
    March 23, 2026, 1:47 PM EDT. Coffee prices fell as favorable weather conditions in Brazil support crop growth. May arabica coffee dropped 1.52%, and May ICE robusta coffee eased 0.19%.

Despite a recent high due to shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, concerns over a record Brazilian coffee crop of 75.3 million bags for 2026/27 are weighing on prices. Rising inventories-arabica at a 5.75-month high of 585,621 bags-and increased output projections by StoneX and Conab are bearish for coffee prices.
