In 1st estimate of Jan 2024 Conab projected conilon in ES to be 11.1mb. In today's report it is 10.8mb. 300kb lower or roughly 3% lower. Thus, CONAB admitted the problem. Yes, 3% is not 10% but it would be naive to expect it in second estimate. Important fact is, that the issues was noted and so, anybody may think for himself now, what the final correction is gonna be (if at all :)).

There are multiple comments/complaints on the matter. Nobody says All is lost ! but the coverage points to the fact that issue is real. It confirmed by weather stations and science. :) Some reduction (A) most likely will follow, can be very small, etc - nobody knows at this point... But what is more important, record is not possible - every one was expecting record :) ! There are comments about higher infestations (visually), they are on personal levels but it correlates with the science :)... OFF crop can be good if all will be ideal, but may be not so if current damage will affect 25 crop what may be the case for many origins, etc. Frost was in OFF 2021, now it is ON 2024, unless USDA will show 50mb A crop, it will mean that Brazil was not able to repeat the record on higher prices and most likely (in USDA terms) on more quantity of productive trees. And on 1.75% rate, 23/24, 24/25, 25/26 add 9mb to consumption. 23/24 global production got revised already by USDA reports, 24/25 at best :) :) :) will be stagnant :) assuming ALL origins, 25 is OFF crop and possible consequences of 23/24 heat wave effect for many origins, etc - those 9mb will come from where ? Stocks only. As MGom was saying, there are Always some Real physical stocks at every origin, nobody should doubt it ! But why would the producers rush to sell EVERYTHING in such a situation ? Unlikely... :) There are already talks within coffee :) chats that time is coming and fair price will be paid and Brazil will take its toll :) :) :) and producer will rule, at least for a while :), believe it or not :) ! Such a mood doesn't point to the intention to sell everything quickly ...

Simple math wise, flat production is of course not the same as drop, but in current situation it is bad, not neutral :), as those 9mb (of consumption growth have to come from somewhere... Paper balance will look bad :) !!!

Nothing very special, complaints that you're already aware of... The guy I referred to, commented on the issues of green, matured and dry fruit on the same :) branch :), was talking about ... whole MG !!! :). (During technical visits, the Agricultural Engineer and Editor of RC, Antônio Sérgio, has found uneven fruit maturation, showing the presence of green, ripe and dry fruits in the same rosette.) He's an editor of a specialized media, he would not talk nonsense... Some reduction via smaller/lighter/defective beans is in the cards, the question is what it's gonna be... But it means no record A crop is coming - it will disappoint many indeed ! :)

Nothing new of what you're not already aware of :). Open sources narration continues in a way that smaller/ lighter / defective beans problem as the result of uneven maturation, etc (high temps. dry spells) exists in whole MG. There are comments in popular coffee media with the pics, etc. Unlikely a conspiracy :) and would imply some adjustment on later basis. It is important, that after one of a kind recent drought, part of the issues were smaller beans, what resulted in more beans to fill the bag. :)

Short Dude. Don't look at MOM as it may reflect some very specific issue, not necessarily or not 100% related to coffee itself. Better compare vs average for 4 months (J - A in this case) and vs historical mean - it gives more smoothed picture, and usually (not every first time) more correct one.

Sorry, for 3m average J - M ***** :) :) :) ! Also, this growth of roughly 300kb happened on ... record Brazilian export :) ! Cecafe projects 23/24 export about 46mb :) ! Decline in consumption/demand :) would assume bigger increase in stocks (comparing to historical mean) :), no ? :)

Brazil supports their producers by all means :): ABIC, in partnership with the Horus system, releases a report on coffee consumption in Brazilian retail between January and April 2024. ABIC monitors retail sales through more than two million invoices collected monthly at check-outs across Brazil, with the help of Horus. The numbers reveal that consumption of the drink in the first four months of the year registered an increase of 0.16% compared to the same period of the previous year. In total, 4,963,725 60kg bags were consumed by the domestic market. In the first four months of 2023, the volume consumed was 4,955,567 bags. When comparing consumption from Apr/24 to Apr/23, it is possible to notice an increase of 9.20%. From Mar/24 to Apr/24, sales rose 1.11%.

I must apologize to all analysts who have a problem with coffee crop predictions and have to wait until harvest. The price of orange juice is at ATH. All because of a disappointing crop in Brazil, caused by heat waves around January. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? It only became clear after the harvest. It seemed that predicting the orange harvest was easier than coffee, it's a big fruit, but no.

No coffee reports today. Remaining USDA reports, scheduled for May are: Brazil, Vietnam, Philippines, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania - should be out until last day of May. And Conab should be tomorrow :). Some w-guys promise :) :) :) new heat records within next days from Texas to Brazil, including CA and Mexico (not necessarily coffee areas !). In general, high temps are still there...

Interesting Rabobank view at 24/25 crop as of April: total production 69.8mb, A production to grow 8.8%, R ... to remain stable, total production growth 5.7% vs 23/24. Three things worth of attention: 1) 5.7% growth from OFF to ON cycle is ... far from normal; 2) Does R production to remain stable means that some R problems are true ? :) 3) 69.8mb is in the lower part of the range 68 - 74mb. Besides, Rabobank projected that local roasters in Brazil will use more A in the blends due to narrow price diff between A and R :).

There is a study that researched the ability of arabica coffee tree (very regular one, not special drought resistant cultivars, etc) to withstand high temps and possible consequences. Study was based on LEAF temp of 49C within 45min and 90 min. Leaf temp may be !!!! air temp +12 - 20C FOR FULL SUN GROWN arabica trees (+5-7C shade grown) (depending on some factors, as wind, existing drought , etc). Study was conducted on 6 - 9 months trees, in perfect conditions, perfectly managed, soil temp was below 30C. Dropping pure scientific details :) (way too long to post), study had shown that: 1) younger trees and expanding leaves (growing) have been affected more than older trees and mature leaves; 2) on leaf temp for expanding leaves was higher vs on leaf temp on mature leaf; 3) treated trees (49C for 45min and 90min, two groups) did not produce any flowers and fruits vs their controls (same age, conditions, etc but not treated trees); 4) trees that did not produce flowers/fruits however IN THEORY should have more :) energy for growth; 5) recovery for 45min trees was shorter and damage was smaller vs 90 min treated trees, but both groups managed to recover in perfect (created) conditions - trees haven't died !!! The goal of the study was not to research the drop in production, but influence of the treatment on some specific photo/chemical processes, etc.

What comes from the study: 1) for full sun grown A trees (BRAZIL:)) 49C On Leaf temp would be: a) 49C - 12C = 37C air temp; b) 49C - 20C = 29C air temp; 2) exposure to the sun and so On Leaf temp for specific part of specific branch differs (many factors), most exposed parts of the branch are most risk; 3)nobody knows if for specific part of specific branch it was 45min or 90min of critical On Leaf temp, or MORE, or LESS but 45 min/90 min produced (by the study) no flowers, no fruits so, it would be reasonable to suppose that shorter exposure would create partial damage at least (or full damage to small part of the branch, etc); 4) trees will not die and it is seen from the pics/videos, circulating :); 5) if to believe the study :) - some droppy is in the cards :) as the temps have been recorded by the stations. Percentage is unknown as nobody measured On Leaf temp of every branch for every tree at every farm :) :) :), but as coverage was kinda wide, some small drop would be intact with the study and anomalies recorded. What is small ? In my view, whatever below 5%. Well, there were views that A will drop due to temps between 2 and 4% in MG. Study was made on A but it is unlikely :) :) :) that R is completely immune while A is not.

Important addition: study was based on ONE TIME heat treatment ( 1 group - 45min, other - 90min) ONLY. Thus, the effect of multiple treatments within short period of time was not covered. It may mean no changes at all re results of the study, or it may, as accumulated changes (damages) often produce different effect :).
