The price of robusta coffee has increased by 40% since the beginning of August, while robusta has also increased by 32.1%. The 50% tax imposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump on Brazilian coffee since August 6 has made exports to the U.S. unfeasible and disrupted the market.

The increase in tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazilian coffee has raised concerns in the sector, as the country is the largest buyer of the product and accounts for more than 30% of U.S. green coffee imports, according to the USDA. The direct impact on trade flow is putting pressure on producers and exporters, who now need to seek new destinations to maintain competitiveness.

Cecafé director says that surcharges imposed on Brazilian coffee have caused losses for producers and inflation for U.S. consumers.
