According to the Sao Paulo branch of Reuters on May 20, it is expected that from the weekend, the main coffee producing areas in Brazil will begin to rain in the next few days, and the rain will become more and more intense, which may delay the next coffee harvest in Brazil, but it will have a beneficial impact on coffee production next year.

According to analysts, some parts of South Minas will receive up to 80 millimeters (3.15 inches) of rain, which will improve the drought caused by the lack of rain over the past three months.

Adriano Labello de Rezard, technical coordinator of the Minassur Partnership, said: "rainfall is a good thing and we are very happy because the situation is very serious." The amount of water in the soil is already very low. Although this rainfall will slow down our harvest, it is a good thing for plants, which will have a positive impact on crop yields next year. " .

Brazilian Arabica coffee has an alternation between higher and lower yield years, and Brazil is now in the off-season of biennial coffee production. In the past few months, the weather has been unusually dry, which will lead to lower coffee production this year than usual.

Gil Barabach, a coffee analyst at Safras & Mercado, a consultancy, says that because Brazil has less rainfall at this time of year, it has little impact on the harvest.

The process of coffee harvest requires farmers to peel and remove the meat after picking the cherries, and then leave the beans with sheep skin outside to dry for a few days, so generally speaking, rain is not a good thing for farmers. Of course, there is another risk of damage to the quality of coffee beans: coffee cherries fall from trees.

Barabach also said that precipitation will be of great help to the reservoirs used for irrigation.

'The rainfall at this time of year is a worrying bad thing, but this year is different from previous years, 'said Fernando Maximiliano, a coffee analyst at a financial services organization. This rain is a good thing.

Maximiliano said he would visit coffee-growing areas in the next few days to carry out a new assessment. The Brazilian government is also expected to release new harvest forecasts next week.
