Brazil Shatters Coffee Export Record: 50.44 Million Bags in 2024
Brazil’s coffee exports reached unprecedented levels in 2024, as reported by the Coffee Exporters Council (Cecafé) on Wednesday. The country shipped 50.44 million 60-kg bags of coffee, marking a 28.5% increase from 2023’s 39.24 million bags.
This remarkable growth set a new record for Brazil, the world’s leading coffee producer and exporter. Never before had the nation exported more than 50 million 60-kg bags in a single year. The surge in exports generated $1.145 billion in revenue, another all-time high for the Brazilian coffee industry.
Márcio Ferreira, President of Cecafé, attributed this success largely to record shipments of Brazilian Arabica coffee. Arabica beans dominated the export market, accounting for 73.2% of all shipments.
The United States, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Japan emerged as the top destinations for Brazilian coffee in 2024. Notably, exports to Asian countries saw an 11.4% increase, indicating growing demand in that region.
This record-breaking performance showcases Brazil’s strong position in the global coffee market. It highlights the country’s ability to meet increasing international demand while maintaining its competitive edge.
