Peru’s 2021-2022 Coffee Crop Forecast at 3.95 Million Bags, USDA

CoffeeNetwork – According to the latest USDA attache report, Peru’s marketing year (MY) 2021/22 coffee crop (April/March) is forecast at 3.95 million 60-kilogram bags, up 17% from the previous crop year.

(From the USDA report)

Production: Coffee production in marketing year (MY) 2021/22 (April/March) is forecast at 3.95 million bags (60 kilograms per bag), rebounding 17 percent from the previous year. This rebound is driven by a forecast of an excellent water supply, which favors flowering and the filling of grain. In addition, expected higher international prices will allow producers to invest in fertilizers and a more thorough harvesting, leaving less grain on the trees. Coffee producers have been facing financial difficulties in the past three years as revenues have not met production costs. Production estimates for MY 2019/20 and MY 2020/21 are revised down significantly because of these reasons and are further supported by lower reported export figures.

Area: Harvested area in MY 2021/22 is forecast at 330,000 hectares, remaining at about the same levels as the previous year. Harvesting commences in April and peaks in June-September. About 85 percent of the crop is harvested between April and July.

Yield: Average yields in MY 2021/22 are estimated at 718 kilograms per hectare, increasing 17 percent compared to the previous year. This significant increase is expected to be driven by higher international prices that encourages producers to perform more complete harvests. However, yields can reach upwards of 42 60-kg bags (2,520 kg) per hectare on well-managed plantations.

Trade: Peru’s coffee exports in MY 2021/22 are forecast at 3.85 million bags, increasing 16 percent from the previous year. Exports in MY 2019/20 and MY 2020/21 are revised downward by 15 percent and 24 percent, respectively, on lower reported trade figures. The United States continued to be the top market for Peruvian coffee in MY 2020/21, accounting for 25 percent of total exports. Other important destinations include Germany, which accounts for 21 percent, Colombia with 11 percent, and Belgium with 8 percent of total coffee exports. Export prices of Peruvian coffee in MY 2020/21 increased 10 percent, averaging $3,157 per MT.

With some 90,000 certified organic hectares, Peru is the world’s leading exporter of organic coffee. In addition to these certified hectares, a large portion of Peru’s coffee exports are organic by default, attributed in large part to the smaller growers’ inability to pay for costly chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Foreign demand for specialty coffee motivates some smaller growers to seek out specialized certification. Current certifications that are accessible to smaller coffee farmers include:

- Fair Trade: Certified by Fair Trade Labeling Organizations International (FLO)

- Organic: Certified by several agencies such as USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP), Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), Natureland, and the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA)

- Sustainable Coffee: Certified by the Rainforest Alliance

- Café Practice: Certified by Starbucks

- Other certifications include bat friendly and bird friendly

Peruvian coffee producers are frequent participants in international coffee contests which they consider an important strategy to distinguish themselves as high-quality producers, which could lead to higher incomes and better prices for producers. Peruvian producers have won the Best Specialty Coffee award at the Global Specialty Coffee Expo several times.

Consumption: Domestic consumption in MY 2021/22 is forecast at 225,000 bags. Coffee consumption in Peru has increased over one hundred percent in the past five years, however it still remains low. Per capita coffee consumption in Peru is 650 grams. This contrasts with neighboring Colombia, where per capita consumption reaches two kilograms, and Brazil, where it exceeds four kilograms.

Peruvians primarily consume soluble (instant) coffee, which accounts for 75 percent of total domestic coffee consumption. Nonetheless, consumption patterns are changing and a roasted, ground coffee drinking culture is taking root. Coffee consumption among young, urban consumers is growing.

Consumption levels are now reaching the one-kilogram per capita threshold in this demographic group. Domestic coffee consumption still only accounts for about 10 percent of total production. Small corner stores (60 percent) and supermarkets (30 percent) account for the bulk of domestic coffee sales.

Perspective: Morning Commentary for August 10

August 10 – The world commodity markets and economy remains at risk amid two wars this morning. Tensions continue to escalate in both the Middle East and the Black Sea – risking pulling other countries into the conflicts. Stocks are down modestly this morning as we start a week of trade in which we’ll see key inflation and retail sales data following a weak jobs report this past Friday. Yet, stocks continue to trade just below record high levels, with the VIX trading near 2026 lows just above 15. The dollar index is trading near 99.7. Yields on 10-year Treasuries are trading near 4.68%, while yields on 2-year Treasuries are trading near 4.23%. The energy and food-based markets are firmer today amid the escalated risks. WTI crude oil is trading near $80, while Brent trades near $85 per barrel. Double-digit gains in the winter wheat markets lead the way for higher grain and oilseed prices.

Perspective: Morning Commentary for August 7

August 7 – The U.S. economy unexpectedly lost 23k jobs in July, dramatically below market expectations of an 80k increase and marking the worst Non-Farm Payrolls print since February. Furthermore, May and June were both revised sharply downward, with combined revisions showing 103k fewer jobs than previously reported. Outside of the healthcare sector, which added 22k jobs in July, the losses were very broad-based. Government payrolls saw the largest decline, shedding 53k jobs in July, the largest seen since October 2025, while June was revised down to show a loss of 10k jobs as well. The private sector at least saw growth, adding 30k jobs in July, now matching the month prior after it was revised down from the 49k initially reported, and substantially missing forecasts of 78k jobs being added. This is a sharp reversal in course from the largely better than expected U.S. labor data seen earlier this week.
