Brazil consumer coffee prices fall in July for first time in 18 months

Brazil's consumer coffee prices fell by 1.01% in July, marking the first decline in 18 months, according to the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA). This drop follows a decrease in prices paid to farmers after the 2025 crop harvest. The decline comes amid international market volatility, influenced by U.S. tariffs on Brazilian goods, including coffee. While coffee futures rose 8% last week due to trade concerns, it remains uncertain if the tariff hike will lead to lower staple prices, as increased supply may also be a factor.
