Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, has seen a sharp drop in coffee production, which is a critical period for crop growth in the southern hemisphere, but La Nina, which lingers in the Pacific Ocean, has been going on for three years, CCTV News reported.

The market expects that not only coffee, but also beans, corn and other major crops in Brazil will probably be reduced this year.

It is understood that La Nina phenomenon refers to the phenomenon that the sea surface temperature continues to be unusually cold in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific. La Nina affects temperature and precipitation patterns and exacerbates droughts and floods in different regions. The current La Nina phenomenon in Brazil began around September 2019 and has been mild or moderate most of the time since then. It gradually became more and more intense in April this year.

Brazilian agrometeorologist dos Osantos said: "whenever La Nina occurs, the whole of Brazil will be affected, with a sharp drop in rainfall in the south and floods in the north. During the summer and autumn harvest season from 2021 to 2022, south-central Brazil experienced severe drought, while the north was hit by torrential rains."

It is reported that the city of Cacondi, located in the southern Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, is the largest coffee producer, and 85% of the total annual revenue in the region comes from coffee bean sales. When the harvest is good in the region, the annual output of coffee beans is close to 14000 tons. However, after being affected by La Nina for more than three years in a row, local market participants expect the total production of local coffee beans to fall sharply to no more than 10,000 tons by the harvest season in May 2023.

Adhemar, co-chairman of Brazil's Cacondi Rural area. Pereira said that three years ago, the production area could produce 50 bags of coffee beans per hectare, but now it can only produce 15 bags per hectare. After years of bad weather, such as hail, Frosts Descent, water shortage and high temperature, the production of coffee beans has been greatly reduced. The weather has become a common concern for coffee growers in Brazil.

At present, it is a critical time for coffee trees to form coffee fruit and need a lot of water, but La Nina has caused the recent precipitation in Brazil to be lower than in the same period in previous years. As a result, the output and quality of coffee beans in Brazil will be seriously affected next year.

According to the data, Brazil is not only a famous coffee producing area, but also the largest coffee producer and exporter in the world, accounting for 1 / 3 of the world's total production, although it occupies a very important position in the whole coffee trading market. The reduction in production in Brazil will lead to a shortage of supply in the entire market, a significant increase in global coffee bean prices, coffee futures remain high, and domestic coffee traders are hoarding cash to protect demand in the domestic market.

Not only is Brazil affected by bad weather, Africa's largest coffee exporter is Uganda, which exported about 503000 bags of coffee beans, down 14 percent from the same period last year, Xinhua reported last month. The Uganda Coffee Development Authority said that the decline in coffee production in most parts of Uganda due to drought and the shortening of the coffee harvest season in central and eastern Uganda were the main reasons for the decline in coffee bean exports.

According to the International Coffee Organization, the total global coffee production in 2021-2022 was 167.2 million bags (60 kg each), down 2.1% from 170.83 million bags in the previous year, while global coffee consumption rose 3.3% to 170.3 million bags. It coincides with a decline in reserves and poor harvest prospects in the largest coffee-producing country, and global coffee consumption is recovering from the market downturn caused by the epidemic. But worry about supplies in Brazil and Africa.
