Revenue from Cafés do Brasil crops was estimated at R$71,7 billion for 2022

The Gross Production Value (VBP) of Brazilian Coffees, which corresponds to the total revenue of coffee crops, both of the Arabica and conilon coffee species, is estimated at R$ 71,7 billion for 2022. In this context, conilon coffee , with estimated revenue of R$14,17 billion, represents 19,7% of this revenue; and Arabica coffee, with an estimated R$57,54 billion, corresponds to 80,3% of the total. Based on these numbers, it appears that coffee farming will be responsible for approximately 8,2% of the total revenue of Brazilian crops, estimated at R$ 869,4 billion, a performance that places the coffee sector in fourth place in the VBP ranking, in 2022.

When comparing the Gross Production Value (VBP) of 2021, with the estimated VBP of 2022, it is possible to notice a significant increase of approximately 73% in the revenue of Arabica coffee, jumping from R$33,28 billion in 2021, to R$57,54 billion in 2022. Conilon coffee, on the other hand, is expected to show an increase of 31%, rising from R$10,82 billion to R$14,17 billion.

The calculation of the estimated gross revenue, specifically for crops, includes 17 agricultural products and considers the average prices received by rural producers in the months of January and February of the current year, which totaled, as previously mentioned, R$ 869,4 billion this year 2022. Thus, a ranking of the five agricultural products that have the highest estimated gross revenue, in descending order, denotes the following: soy, in first place, appears with R$ 353,8 billion, which corresponds to 40,6, 157,72% of the total; in second place, corn – R$18,1 billion (117,62%); sugar cane, in third – R$ 13,5 billion (71,72%); coffee, as mentioned, occupies fourth place, with R$8,2 billion (40,76%); and, in fifth place, cotton, with R$4,6 billion, an amount that represents XNUMX% of the VBP of Brazilian crops.

Regarding the total production of Brazilian Coffees expected for 2022, including the two species (arabica and conilon), the physical volume is expected to increase by 16,8% compared to last year, reaching 55,74 million 60kg bags, produced in an area of ​​1,82 million hectares. Arabica coffee production should be responsible for 69,5% of total Brazilian production with 38,78 million bags, a number that represents an increase of 23,4% compared to 2021. While conilon coffee production, with an increase of 4,1% compared to last year, it should reach 16,95 million bags, a volume that represents 30,5% of all coffee that should be produced in Brazil in 2022.

When analyzing exclusively Arabica coffees, it can be seen that the respective production area had a slight drop of 0,2%, which this year occupies 1,43 million hectares, with an average productivity of 27,1 bags per hectare . If compared to the previous harvest, these numbers represent an increase of 23,4% in production and 23,6% in productivity of Arabica coffee, mainly due to the biennial nature of this coffee species, which alternates between lower production in a year with larger harvest the following year.

Regarding the production of conilon coffees, if this same comparative analysis is carried out, covering the area in production and the productivity of the 2022 harvest, compared to data from 2021, it appears that the area in production increased by 3,7% and, therefore, currently has 389,2 thousand hectares and an average productivity of 43,6 bags per hectare, a performance that indicates a small increase of 0,4% in relation to the average productivity of conilon coffees from the previous year.

The data and numbers that allowed this analysis to be carried out were obtained from Café Executive Summary – March 2022 and Gross Production Value – VBP – February 2022, studies of the coffee sector that are prepared and published monthly by the Secretariat of Agricultural Policy – ​​SPA, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply – Map, whose editions are available in full on Coffee Observatory of the Consórcio Pesquisa Café, coordinated by Embrapa Café.

Based exclusively on data from the Gross Production Value - VBP, if a ranking is also established, in this case, of coffee farming revenues in the five Brazilian geographic regions, it is noted that the Southeast Region occupies first place with R$ 63,82 billion, which is equivalent to 89% of total revenues, followed by the Northeast Region with R$4,1 billion (5,7%). In third place comes the North Region with estimated revenue of R$ 2,37 billion (3,3%), in fourth place the South Region with R$ 844,7 million (1,2%). And, finally, the Central-West Region, which has gross revenue from coffee farming estimated at R$566,77 million, an amount that corresponds to 0,8% of the VBP of Cafés do Brasil in 2022.
