Coffee prices added to this week’s losses on Thursday, with arabica dropping to a 2.5-month low. Coffee prices have been under pressure over the past three weeks on the outlook for abundant global supplies.

ICO said 2025/26 global coffee production rose +4.4% y/y to a record 183.6 million bags and consumption fell -0.9% y/y to 180.6 million bags, leaving the global coffee market in a 3 million bag surplus, the first surplus in five years.
