The US dollar has been on a roll thanks to solid US macro data, which has forced the market to re-evaluate expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. The USDX index has gained 1.5% in value, making most commodities more expensive.
Along with the decline in exports from Vietnam, coffee exports from South America also fell 17.3% in March to just 4.1 million bags. Mainly due to the total exports from the three main suppliers in the region, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, falling 17.9%.
Of which, coffee exports from Brazil and Colombia witnessed a decrease of 14.3% and 19.2%, reaching 3.1 million bags and 0.9 million bags respectively, representing the fourth consecutive month of negative growth for Brazil and the ninth consecutive month of negative growth for Colombia.
The Brazilian Coffee Exporters Association (Cecafé) said that the off-season harvest and lower production in the two consecutive 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons were the main reasons for the decline in Brazilian exports. Meanwhile, in Colombia, supplies continued to be affected by adverse weather, with production falling 10% in March.
Meanwhile, Peruvian coffee exports continued to decline sharply in March, down 76.5% year-on-year. Adverse weather conditions and political instability in major producing regions have severely impacted the country’s export supply.
In addition, the decline in exports is also explained by the high base level of the same period last year, when 4.6 million bags of coffee of all kinds were exported by Peru, corresponding to the second largest export volume in the history of this country, only after 4.7 million bags of the 2011-2012 crop year and an increase of 44.8% compared to the 2020-2021 crop year.
