Brazil's green coffee shipments surge in early September, data shows

Brazil's government released data showing that green coffee exports surged in the first two weeks of September, with a daily average of about 13,500 metric tons. Over that period, shipments totaled 107,900 tons, or roughly 1.8 million bags of 60 kilograms each. The same release detailed movements in other export categories: oil shipments rose to a daily average of 656,200 tons, soybeans to 364,400 tons, while corn fell to a daily average of 286,200 tons and beef declined to about 10,000 tons per day.

These shifts reflect Brazil's recent record output in oil and soybeans, as well as reduced corn exports due to domestic ethanol production and competition from Argentina, and a drop in beef exports linked to China's exhausted lower-tariff quota. The figures underscore Brazil's evolving trade dynamics across its major agricultural and energy products.
