What Brazil's Washed Coffee Squeeze Means for Roasters

Brazil coffee supply keeps growing, but washed and semi-washed output is not keeping pace because the extra processing cost is no longer being repaid. Speaking in August 2026, Leonardo Rossetti, StoneX Brazil Market Intelligence Analyst, explains what is happening inside Brazil's washed and semi-washed coffee segment and why isolated early flowering has drawn attention. Rising coffee prices since 2021 made the additional processes behind washed and semi-washed coffees harder to justify for many farmers, so that segment has not expanded at the pace of overall production. The true availability only becomes clear once Brazilian coffee reaches international markets in larger volumes over the coming months. Separately, StoneX field teams observed small, isolated flowering events in regions that received out of season rains, ahead of the main flowering season that usually runs from late August through October.
