Abstract
Brazil, one of the world's largest coffee producers, experienced volatility in 2024 due to issues such as changes in coffee prices and climate. This paper analyzes the factors influencing the changes in the Brazilian coffee market through literature analysis and qualitative analysis based on the overall situation of the Brazilian coffee industry in 2024 in terms of prices, export markets, and the impact of extreme weather on the quality and quantity of coffee. Brazilian coffee prices have risen due to global supply shortages and growing demand. Meanwhile, Brazilian coffee exports to the U.S., European, and Asian markets continue to grow strongly, especially for premium and specialty coffees. The Brazilian coffee industry in general remains a major player in the global coffee supply chain and is highly competitive. However, the global economic situation and climate uncertainty and increasing production costs add some risks to the future development of the Brazilian coffee industry.
