*BREAKING #KC LIVE FROM BRAZIL: Reporting DIRECTLY from the field @SpillingTheBean aka The Indiana Jones of Coffee can NOW CONFIRM that the MASSIVE cherry droppings from across #coffee growing regions DID RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF THE 2026 HARVEST SIZE with IRREVERSIBLE LOSSES of min 2M-3M bags !! Aug. 18, 2026 (SpillingTheBeans)--Brazil's 2026 final harvest size WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED by cherry droppings !! Despite the multiple and ongoing efforts from the pro-bear camp to downplay the issue of the cherry droppings it remains the BIG PINK ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM as the cherry droppings were WIDELY REPORTED throughout the physical harvest from mid-May to mid/end-Aug from across arabica growing regions including Brazil's TOP #CAFE growing region of Southern Minas as well as many parts of Sao Paulo, Alta Mogiana and the Cerrado Mineiro, so 3 days into the 3000km+ Oct. 16-Nov 1, 2026 Brazil Coffee Crop Tour by @SpillingTheBean initial conclusions backed up by solid data based on crop delivery to warehouses and figures from top agronomists and producers in Southern Minas reveal that; 1-Those arguing that Brazil's 2026 #coffee harvest size was not being impacted by the VAST volumes of extremely low-quality coffee are simply NOT TELLING THE TRUTH!! The 2026 #coffee harvest in Brazil WAS REDUCED by significant % because, 2-Of the massive amount of cherry droppings, widely reported at a min average 20-30% for Southern Minas as a whole, in the BEST CASES some 8-10% of growers achieved to recover 80-90% of the coffee that fell to the ground at the peak of harvest between May and Aug BUT these same growers, besides ending with LESS physical harvest volume as 10-20% of cherry droppings COULD NOT be recovered and resulted in IRREVERSIBLE LOSSES. Furthermore these growers are now reporting that in addition to the min 30-40% of the quality losses from coffee that fell to the ground ADDITIONAL losses have been added from the many unripe and green or otherwise poor-quality beans that was caused by the highly irregular 6-8-10 months weather since flowering through the physical harvest are so bad that they do NOT MEET min export standards; 3-The cherry droppings, which by far has been the main contributing factor toward what is possibly the LOWEST QUALITY crop from Brazil in modern history, DID cause a reduction in the final harvest volume. All those in the #KC market trying to talk this off as "The harvest did not decrease" because of cherry droppings or poor quality and we are "only" talking about quality problems and delays from the rains are FLAT OUT LYING and COMPLETELY FAILING to acknowledge the BASIC TRUTH of what the reality on the ground is !! 4-Of the 30-40% of growers who DID manage to recover about 50-60% of the cherries that fell to the ground, again at the very most HALF of that recovered volume is not even fit for human consumption as most of this coffee was filled with mold, fungus and other ills of the effect of being on the ground in many cases for 2-3 weeks or up to a full month or more, 5-In Southern Minas, growers across the Juruaia, Muzambinho, Nova Resende to Campos Gerais and Boa Esperança regions report that in the cases of about HALF OF THE CHERRY DROPPINGS #kc growers did not even TRY TO RECOVER the lost crop, so YES WE ARE TALKING both significant and also IRREVERSIBLE LOSSES at a scale of min 2M-3M bags for the 2026 harvest !! 6-The evidence is still ALL OVER in the fields, you just have to look😏😫pix below show the “normal” nice quality received at Cooxupe warehouses that is below the “fine cup” or “specialty” grade BUT still fair good average bean quality which is EXPORTABLE but at this point makes up MAX ~30-40% of total #coffee received in Southern Minas warehouses, and to the left the BIGGER percentage of 40-50% of coffee which is the BIGGER SHARE of what is reaching warehouses and NOT EXPORTABLE because quality is SO BELOW min export standards. My haters out here and pro-bear fanatics and cry wolf and shout and yell as much as they want to but THESE FIGURES AND PIX and general harvest delivery ARE THE FACTS as of today 18. Oct, 2026, LIVE FROM SOUTHERN MINAS by yours truly @SpillingTheBean, now getting ready for 4th day of the Oct. 16-Nov 1, 2026 Brazil Coffee Crop Tour !! *Please dear #coffee friends and #KC followers, stay tuned, much MUCH more pictures, data and videos are coming up here shortly and the week of Oct 19th should be quite the rollercoaster for #KC !! *DISCLAIMER: I am NOT saying that 40-50% of the entire 2026 Brazil #coffee harvest is below export standard, but for Southern Minas we are talking about a MIN of 30% of the final volume that IS NOT EXPORTABLE and that alone will have MASSIVE negative implications for Brazil's exports in the coming 6-8 months and there is ZERO recovery for #KC coming from any other part of Brazil, nor any other producing country in the world !! The world of #coffee IS IN FULL BLOWN CRISIS and the worst of what is potentially the MOST SEVERE AND DEVASTATING El Nino in recorded history is only just starting to show in what for the world 2026-27 #coffee crop is CATASTROPHIC !!

*BREAKING #KC: @SpillingTheBean is now onboard the flight to BRAZIL for the 2026 #coffee crop trip, time for truth about 2026 harvest and 2027 flowering is coming your way !!

*BREAKING #KC UGANDA #COFFEE DROUGHT: Uganda's Agriculture Minustry CONFIRMS that "prolonged drought and unusually high temperatures have hit ... coffee-growing areas, including parts of Greater Masaka, Kyotera, Sembabule and Luwero." These are all part of the TOP-producing #robusta #coffee belt of central and southern Uganda home to as much as 90% of total annual production in an average crop cycle. "The weather shock has affected flowering, cherry development, bean filling, processing out-turn and coffee quality," local news reported the Agriculture Ministry as saying over the weekend. Local news and growers from across Robusta and #arabica growing regions continue to share new videos and pictures, latest here below from Lwengo district in the greater southern Masaka region. *Thanks for sharing this video @SRatiifu687 and prayers for Uganda's #coffee growers 🙏🙏🙏 *xitter.gq/SRatiifu687/status/210… *ugmirror.com/index.php/2026/…

*BREAKING #KC; New storms and heavy rains forecast to start hitting Vietnam's already battered top #coffee growing regions of The Central Highlands, local news report. "In the Central Highlands and Southern Vietnam, rain continues. In particular, western Dak Lak , Lam Dong, and Southern Vietnam will experience moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms," Vietnam news reported, adding "there will be heavy rain with a risk of flooding" which comes after 2-3 weeks between late August and mid-September caused significant damage to the new 2026-27 #robista crop across the Central Highlands, which already has suffered MAJOR and IRREVERSIBLE LOSSES to the new crop due to non-stop weather problems throughout the flowering and bean formation period Feb-June. *vietnam.vn/en/video-du-bao-t…

*BREAKING #KC VIETNAM #COFFEE: Over 2-3 weeks torrential rains and extreme excess humidity is starting to show the UGLY REALTITY of growing and IRREVERSIBLE LOSSES to Vietnam's new 2026-27 #robusta harvest with SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE reported directly from #robusta growers across The Central Highlands including Dak Lak and Gia Lai. While SOME cherry drop normally can be salvaged a significant % part of cherry loss normally results in crop losses !!

*BREAKING #KC: The #coffee flowering for Brazil's next 2027 crop has been hit by wide-spread HAIL STORMS, with growers reporting new flowers being thrown to the ground in multiple parts across the TOP-Arabica region of Southern Minas, including Campos Gerais, Varginha, Tres Coracoes and Tres Pontas to Patrocinio and other parts of the Cerrado Mineiro in the BIGGEST coffee state of Minas Gerais, home to 70% of arabica coffee and about 50% of Brazil's total annual coffee production in any average crop cycle. Top agronomists and scientists from the world famous IAC, Campinas-based research institute CONFIRM the reports from growers and while no damage reports have yet been released, this WILL IMPACT flowering for the next crop, already damaged by the widespread early flowering that came at the peak of the physical harvest. "In Varginha, the intensity of the hail was sufficient to cause the collapse of a gas station canopy," said one report, while other growers told of hails as large as 2-3 cm ravaging through farms !! "In locations across southern Minas, trees fell, streets flooded, and roads were affected by a combination of heavy rain and wind." *MORE: redesocialdocafe.com.br/2026…

There is ZERO hopes for neither a good or big #coffee harvest in Brazil in 2026 and EVEN LESS anything remotely close to a "record" but this is NOT NEWS, what is happening is EXACTKY what I @SpillingTheBean aka The Indiana Jones of Coffee reported since my last crop trip in Aug/Sep after yet another intensive trip across coffee farms fields and wide regions across ALL of Minas Gerais with very few exemptions and it is mind-blowing that there are still people in #KC that actually believe the BS lies from the pro-bear manipulators that a record crop is somehow in the making😂🤣😅🤣🤣😂😂🤣😅😅😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😅🤣 The world IS running out of coffee and there is ZERO realistic possibility for any real recovery of the global supply chain until 2029-2030 earliest with the bull-run at min $3-$4 expected to last until 2034-2035 with global demand booming and world consumption continuing to expand much faster that coffee growers can recover lost output !!

*BREAKING #KC: Arabica #coffee CONTINUES TO RALLY now 7 days into 2026 with active March up a full 9c/lv at intraday high of $3.8285 and still holding on to most gains in late session which again holds sufficiently good trade volume with over 26K contracts for the 2 front months and CONFIRMING the market is WELL AWARE of massive and growing supply deficit problems about to start the real ugly face about to start in earnest with last global stocks at max abut 12M bags in importing ports and covering LESS THAN 1 MONTH worth of world demand !!
