According to Reuters' São Paulo bureau report on May 20th, Brazil's main coffee-producing regions are expected to start raining from this weekend, with rainfall becoming increasingly intense in the following days. This may delay Brazil's upcoming coffee harvest work, but will have a beneficial impact on next year's coffee production.

According to analysts, some areas in southern Minas Gerais state will receive rainfall amounts reaching 80 millimeters (3.15 inches). This rainfall will improve the land drought problem caused by the lack of rain over the past three months.

Adriano Rabelo de Rezende, technical coordinator of the Minasul Cooperative, said: "Having rainfall is a good thing, and we are very happy because the current situation is very severe. The water reserves in the soil are already very low. Although this rainfall will delay our harvest work, it is beneficial for the plants and will have a positive impact on next year's crop yield."

Brazil's Arabica coffee alternates between high-yield and low-yield years, and Brazil is currently in its biennial off-year for coffee production. In the past few months, the weather has been unusually dry, which will result in this year's coffee production being lower than usual.

Gil Barabach, coffee analyst at Safras & Mercado consulting firm, stated that due to the relatively low rainfall intensity in Brazil during this time of year, the impact on the harvest will not be significant.

The coffee harvesting process requires farmers to pick coffee cherries, remove the skin and pulp, and then place the parchment-layered beans outdoors to dry for several days. Therefore, generally speaking, rain is not a good thing for coffee farmers. Of course, there is also the risk of damage to coffee bean quality: coffee cherries falling from the trees.

Barabach also mentioned that the precipitation will be very helpful in replenishing water reservoirs used for irrigation.

Fernando Maximiliano, coffee analyst at a financial services organization, said that rainfall during this time of year is usually a worrying event, but this year's situation is different from previous years. This rainfall is actually a good thing.

Maximiliano stated that in the coming days, he will visit coffee-growing regions to conduct new assessment work. It is expected that the Brazilian government will also release new harvest forecast data next week.
