How to solve the shortage of Brazilian coffee export containers? Coffee companies spend billions to fly coffee beans
Up to now, the global container shipping crisis has not been effectively alleviated.
Seaborne ships and containers are mainly concentrated in the United States, Asia and Europe, and are the main export ports.
According to a report compiled by the South American overseas Chinese newspaper Network, due to a shortage of containers at Brazilian ports, one of the Brazilian coffee producers had to spend a lot of money on transporting coffee beans by plane.

It is understood that the high demand for export ports in Asia, the United States and Europe has attracted shipowners, and compared with other countries such as Brazil, these ports are more profitable, resulting in a shortage of containers in Brazilian ports.
Flavia Lancha, vice-president of the coffee company, which already has nine tonnes of beans flown to London, said: the company is considering using this mode of transport again.
It is worth noting that in the past, the probability of the country using aircraft exports was very low. For example, during the 2020 / 21 harvest season, Brazil exported 45.6 million bags of 60 kg coffee, of which only 0.1 per cent were exported by aircraft.
In addition, another news source pointed out that due to problems such as port congestion and container shortage, the export price of containers has risen from US $2000 / TEUs to US $12000 / TEUs, and there is a long queue for export.

Brazil's domestic media and coffee finance network said: Santos Port of Brazil (SANTOS) can dock more than 50 ocean-going ships at the same time, which is the largest container port in Brazil, and exports to coffee, soybeans, oranges, cotton and other agricultural products are the largest coffee export port in the world) large area accumulation of coffee beans, in order to ensure coffee export as soon as possible, traders have no choice but to choose air transport. But the price is lower than by sea.
According to related news, British companies choose to directly airlift 9000 tons of Brazilian boutique coffee beans to London at a freight rate of US $11000 per TEUs, which is cheaper than by sea.
Last.
As for the problem of Brazilian coffee exports, people in the market industry predict that the problem may last until the first half of 2022.
