More Americans reach for a daily coffee: NCA

 

More Americans are drinking a daily cup of coffee in 2017, a reversal of four years of declines, as gourmet brews gain in popularity, according to an industry group’s report released .

“More of us are drinking coffee, and younger consumers appear to be leading the charge,” said National Coffee Association USA (NCA) Chief Executive Officer Bill Murray.

The National Coffee Drinking Trends report showed that 62 percent of more than 3,000 people who participated in the online survey said they had drunk coffee the previous day, which is interpreted as daily consumption.

The increase appeared in all age groups, with 37 percent of 13-to-18-year-olds reporting they had a coffee the day prior, up from 31 percent in 2016.

Daily consumption spread to 64 percent of 40-to-59-year-olds from 53 percent last year, but this brought levels around those of 2014, according to the report.

Among types of coffee, the increase was most pronounced in gourmet varieties. About 24 percent of survey participants said they drank an espresso-based drink the day prior. The jump from 18 percent in 2016 was the biggest for this category.

New Crop/ Nova Safra

The market began to reflect the conditions of the 2018/2019 Brazilian crop. There was the expectation among everyone that the next harvest in Brazil could have a record production. Continued concerns about the dry climate in Brazil have raised prices. Climatic maps of the main meteorological institutes indicate that the climate must remain hot and dry in most of the producing areas of Brazil this week.

Subnormal precipitation is expected in most of the coffee belt in the next six to ten days, MDA Information Systems said in a daily report. This scenario is not not going to help coffee blossom/development. The record crop that we should have next year may not be as big as we thought.

 

O mercado começou a refletir as condições da safra brasileira 2018/2019. Havia a expectativa de que a próxima safra no Brasil poderia ter uma produção recorde. As preocupações contínuas sobre o clima seco no Brasil aumentaram os preços. Os mapas climáticos dos principais institutos meteorológicos indicam que o clima deve permanecer quente e seco na maioria das áreas produtoras do Brasil nesta semana.

Precipitação subnormal é esperada na maioria das áreas produtoras de café nos próximos seis a dez dias, disseram os Sistemas de Informação MDA em um relatório diário. Este cenário não ajudará o café florescer/desenvolver. A safra recorde que devemos ter no próximo ano pode não ser tão grande quanto pensavamos.

Highs on NY(ICE FUTURE US) and increase of Broca

            There is some concern about possible climatic problems and concerns about the quality of Brazil’s harvest. These fears of the market with the crop have already impacted NY since last week, with reports of Broca cases in important producing regions of Brazil. We can see samples with 5,6 until 10% of Broca, the high percentage of broca can bring some cupping duro/riado but that is not necessarily.

Mercado/Market

De acordo com dados da OIC (Organização Internacional do Café), o mercado já dá sinais de menor preocupação com a oferta nesta safra 2017/18 e isso também dá pressão aos preços. “As perspectivas de oferta em 2017/18 parecem cada vez mais positivas: as preocupações iniciais sobre a geada no Brasil e a escassez de chuvas no Vietnã afetando as culturas de 2017/18 diminuíram”, disse a OIC.

According to data from the ICO (International Coffee Organization), the market already shows signs of less concern with supply in this 2017/18 harvest and this also puts pressure on prices. “The outlook for supply in 2017/18 seems increasingly positive: initial concerns about frost in Brazil and the scarcity of rainfall in Vietnam affecting crops in 2017/18 have declined,” the ICO said.

Arabica e Conilon/ Arabica and Conilon

Minas Gerais é o principal estado produtor e exportador de café do Brasil, com a maior parte da produção do país. Com lavouras quase 100% formadas por café arábica, as regiões Sul e Sudeste se destacam, sendo responsáveis por 29,5% da produção nacional em 2017.

O arábica tem 44 cromossomos, que conferem ao café diferentes nuances e sabores, o conilon tem apenas 22, com menos peculiaridades.

O arábica produz uma bebida suave, conhecida pelo seu caráter mais refinado. As nuances de sabores proporcionam também diferentes doçuras e acidez, resultando nos chamados cafés ‘gourmet’, que podem ser puros ou em blends. Já o conilon resulta na bebida dura, que geralmente é utilizado em blends, muito consumidos na maioria dos lares brasileiros.

Mais adocicado, o arábica tem um teor de 6 a 9% de açúcar, contra 3 a 7% do conilon. O teor de cafeína, no entanto, é mais baixo, com 1,2% em média contra 2,2% do robusta. Esses indíces interferem diretamente no sabor, já que conferem ao segundo um amargor maior.

 

Minas Gerais is the main state producing and exporting coffee from Brazil, with most of the country’s production. With almost 100% of Arabica coffee plantations, the South and Southeast regions stand out, accounting for 29.5% of the national production in 2017.

Arabica has 44 chromosomes, which give the coffee different nuances and flavors, the conilon has only 22, with less peculiarities.

Arabica produces a soft drink, known for its refined character. The nuances of flavors also provide different sweetness and acidity, resulting in so-called ‘gourmet’ coffees, which can be pure or blended. The conilon, however, results in the hard drink, which is usually used in blends, much consumed in most Brazilian households.

Sweeter, the Arabica has a content of 6 to 9% of sugar, against 3 to 7% of the conilon. The caffeine content, however, is lower, with 1.2% on average versus 2.2% on robusta. These indices directly interfere with the taste, since they give the second a greater bitterness.

Apri Exportation

Brazilian exports in April, up to 06, totaled 96,218 coffee bags (daily average of 16,363 bags), dropping 60.65% compared to 244,544 bags in the same period of the previous month.

According to information from Cecafé (Council of Coffee Exporters of Brazil) 88,151 bags are referred to arabica coffee, zero bags of conillon and 8,067 bags referring to soluble.

Also up to June 06, Cecafé registered the issuance of 286,986 certificates of origin, down 46.5% over the previous month, of which 286,986 bags are related to arabica, 15,791 bags of conillon and 48,251 bags of solubility.

Importation of Robusta

The importation of Robusta coffee from Vietnam by Brazil has not gone out of government plans and can be authorized in the coming weeks through the drawback system, the information was reported on Wednesday by the financial news agency Bloomberg, based on the report of two sources with direct knowledge on the subject. Also there will be a new Conilon crop on the next 2 months. As the industry is requesting the importation to reduce the price of the blend and the producers are totally against it, they cannot get to an agreement, and the situation stays vague.

Arabica market and Robusta coffee

Arabica quotes have been working with large volatility recently. The truth is that the prices are not finding the strength to recover the lost registered lately, the market should work within the range of 140.00 and 145.00 cents / lb on the US stock market.

The import of coffee has not left the agenda of the industry of soluble, it appears in the official agenda of the Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services, there are two meetings for this Tuesday (7), linked to this subject coffee.
