Atypical heavy rainfall in Brazil’s primary Arabica-producing regions during July has sharply elevated concerns over bean quality for the 2026/27 crop, providing fundamental support to the rally in **Coffee futures** on the ICE Futures US (KC_F) exchange. The September Arabica contract was trading at 326.25 cents per pound as of Wednesday, August 5, with the unexpected quality threat offsetting earlier expectations for a record harvest *volume* this year. Up to 30% of the **Brazil Arabica coffee** harvest was still uncollected and vulnerable in late July when the rains hit key areas, including **Sul de Minas** and the Mogiana region of São Paulo, according to industry reports.
