On its way to India! An unprecedented agreement for Cooabriel has resulted in 21 containers of coffee being sent to the South Asian country. Shipments began in July and are being made in installments, with more expected. 
 
The opening up of this market, whose traditions denote a preference for teas, represents a promising opportunity. Coffee consumption in India is on the rise, driven by new habits and changes in the socio-economic and cultural profile of Indians. 

“There is a tendency for consumption to increase in countries where beverages other than coffee once stood out, such as Japan, China and India itself,” analyzes Cooabriel's export and sustainability manager, Renata Vaz.     
 
The unprecedented negotiation was received with optimism by the cooperative and comes at a time of new arrangements in the international market, which is being influenced by climatic conditions and logistical difficulties in important producing origins, which, in turn, gives rise to a significant increase in the volume of Brazilian exports.  

“These are opportunities that Brazilian coffee is accessing in markets that were previously less explored or where it had not yet gained a significant share,” says Vaz. 

In this scenario, the conilon from Espírito Santo is also expanding significantly, according to Cooabriel's president, Luiz Carlos Bastianello. “The significant advance in quality, combined with the adoption of increasingly sustainable production processes, is helping to make the variety attractive to the international market, representing a very favorable moment for conilon,” Bastianello says.   
 
Although the current moment is 'windy', with new frontiers and markets being accessed, logistical issues related to shipments at Brazilian ports require attention. “In order to continue to maintain these markets as export markets, we need to be logistically efficient, since regular deliveries are essential for maintaining these markets and are a determining factor for competitiveness against other producing countries,” Vaz concludes.
 
However, even in the face of logistical adversities, exports have reached successive records. Data from the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Council (Cecafé), which takes into account the months of January to September 2024, shows that canefora coffees (conilon and robusta) are the highlight of this year's shipments, with a record of more than 7 million bags sent abroad, representing a significant growth of 170.4% compared to 2023.
