The coffee market underwent a record crop in 2010/2011, but a cyclical downturn in Brazil is predicted to reduce the global production for 2011/2012. Despite this, Brazil's coffee exports are still high. Colombian production is recovering, Vietnam's production may decline, and Indonesia's output is impacted by excess rainfall. Demand is on the rise, particularly from Emerging Markets, creating a balanced production-demand scenario with a surplus expected by the end of 2011/2012. The demand for Robusta is strong, with an increasing share in global blends. The Arabica share is higher in developed countries. Sustainability certifications like Rainforest Alliance and Utz show significant growth rates. Market dynamics such as mild differentials, basis FOB prompt shipment, and ICE stocks levels are also important factors influencing the coffee market.
