U.S. coffee buyers are requesting to postpone imports of Brazilian coffee due to a 50% tariff imposed by President Trump, according to Brazilian exporters' group Cecafe. The U.S. coffee industry is in a holding pattern as it awaits tariff negotiations. Postponements could negatively impact exporters financially, leading to increased costs and losses. Brazilian coffee exports fell 28.1% in July compared to last year, with significant declines in both arabica and robusta bean shipments. The U.S. remains the largest consumer of Brazilian coffee, followed by Germany, Italy, and Belgium.
