12、and 179.19 US cents/lb.The I-CIP remained in a strong position as pressure from waning exports and an under-production of coffee for years 2021/22 and 2022/23 continued to shadow over prices.The average monthly price of Robustas reached its highest since August 1995,where it averaged 130.18 US cents

16、ial also gained 1.4%from April to May 2023,averaging 40.30 US cents/lb in May,whilst the Colombian Milds-Robustas contracted 12.4%to 104.38 US cents/lb for the same period.Additionally,the Other Milds-Brazilian Naturals differential lost 2.9%,averaging 33.32 US cents/lb,whilst the Other Milds-Robust
17、as shrank by 14.3%to 97.57US cents/lb.The Brazilian Naturals-Robustas experienced the heaviest loss,dropping by 19.2%to 64.25 US cents/lb.The three Robusta-Arabicas differentials have been narrowing since the middle of 2022.This was initiated by a relatively faster rate of increase of the Robusta,an
18、d then throughout Q4 2022 prompted by a relatively faster rate of decrease by the Arabica prices.Since the beginning of 2023 it has been pushed by a steady rise in the Robusta price while the Arabica prices were moribund.From mid-April 2023,the Robusta price had been decoupled with the other group p
19、rices,which helped to accelerate the narrowing of the Robusta-Arabicas differentials in May 2023,which are now are at their respective lowest since Q1-Q2 2021.The Robusta price has been benefitting from fundamental support,especially from the demand side,in the past twelve months as evidenced by the
20、 0.3%(March 2022-April 2023)decrease in its export(green beans only)compared with a 6.8%fall for the Arabica over the same period.It is speculated that the relative movements in the exports volume reflect a shift in the blend/mix of instant/roasted/ready-to-drink coffee away from Arabica to Robusta
21、in the face of a high cost of living.Over the same period,inflation across much of the world economy has been sharply increasing,with the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices(HICP)for the euro area rising to an average of 8.8%for March 2022-April 2023 as compared with 4.4%over March 2021-April 2022,m
22、aking the daily items purchased more expensive.Accompanying the rise in inflation,is an increase in interest rates;the US Federal Reserve pushed its benchmark rate to between 5%and 5.25%in May 2023 from near zero in March 2022,while the European Central Bank raised its main interest rate to 3.75%in
23、May 2023 up from 0.5%in July 2022,thereby increasing consumer expenditure on loans and mortgages.050100150200250US cents/lbFigure A:Monthly Differentials of Arabica-RobustaColombian Milds-RobustaOther Milds-RobustaBrazailian Naturals-RobustaCoffee Market Report May 2023 4 Since the middle of April 2
24、023,the Robusta price has been strongly supported by the supply-side,centred on supply concerns in Vietnam,Brazil and Indonesia.In the middle of May,it was reported that about 90%of Vietnams current coffee years crop had already been sold,while the supply from Brazil,the second largest producer of R
25、obusta,is significantly lower than its recent past;0.4 million bags in January-April 2023 versus 0.49 million bags in same period in 2022 or as compared with 1.24 million bags.The Association of Indonesian Coffee Exporters and Industries stated that Indonesia,the worlds third-largest Robusta produce
26、r,will see its 2023 coffee production fall-20%y/y to 9.6 million bags due to damage from excessive rainfall across its growing regions.All these factors outweighed the increasing certified Robusta stocks held at the warehouses of the London ICE market.Arbitrage,as measured between the London and New
27、 York Futures markets,contracted by 13.8%to 70.57 US cents/lb in May 2023 as the Robusta growth rate outstripped the New York Market.Intra-day volatility of the I-CIP is stabilizing and reached 8.6%with a marginal decrease of 0.1 percentage points between April and May 2023.The Other Milds and Colom
28、bian Milds presented the strongest volatility increases,averaging 10.3%and 9.4%for the month of May 2023,a respective 1.1 and 0.4 percentage point expansion.Whilst the Brazilian Naturals volatility remained levelled at 10.8%,the Robustas volatility retracted by 0.3 percentage points to 7.4%from Apri

31、.21 million bags,compared with 9.48 million bags in the same month of the previous year,down 2.9%.The downturn was driven by the Colombian Milds and the Brazilian Naturals.This is the fifth consecutive month of negative growth for total exports of green beans since the start of coffee year 2022/23.A
32、s a result,the cumulative total for 2022/23 up to April is 64.95 million bags,compared with 69.4 million bags over the same period a year ago,down 6.4%.25456585105125145US cents/lbFigure 3:Arbitrage between New York 0%5%10%15%20%VolatilityFigure 4:Rolling 30-day volatility of the I-CIPCoffee Market
33、Report May 2023 6 Shipments of the Other Milds increased by 0.3%in April 2023 to 2.0 million bags from 2.19 million bags in the same period last year.This is the first positive growth for green bean exports of the Other Milds since the March 2022,when they increased by 1.9%,thereby halting 12 consec
34、utive months of negative growth.Despite the rebound,the cumulative volume of exports continued to fall,decreasing by 13.8%in the first seven months of coffee year 2022/23 to 11.22 million bags versus 13.02 million bags over the same period in 2021/22.Green bean exports of the Brazilian Naturals fell
35、 in April 2023 by 8.7%to 2.65 million bags.For the first seven months of coffee year 2022/23,green bean exports of the Brazilian Naturals amounted to 21.0 million bags,down by 9.0%from 23.08 million bags over the same period a year ago.Changes to the fortunes of the Brazilian Naturals are mainly due
36、 to changes in Brazils green bean exports,the biggest producer and exporter of the Brazilian Naturals,which also fell in April 2023(-6.4%)to 2.4 million bags from 2.66 million bags in April 2022.Exports of the Colombian Milds decreased by 14.3%to 0.77 million bags in April 2023 from 0.9 million bags
37、 in April 2022,driven primarily by Colombia,the main origin of this group of coffee,whose exports of green beans were down 14.4%in April 2023.This is the tenth consecutive month of negative growth for the Colombian Milds and,as a result,the exports of this group of coffee for October 2022 to April 2
38、023 were down 15.3%,at 6.35 million bags,as compared with 7.5 million bags in the first seven months of coffee year 2021/22.Green bean exports of the Robustas amounted to 3.59 million bags in April 2023,compared with 3.49 million bags in April 2022,up 2.8%.In the first seven months of coffee year 20

40、 7 Exports by Regions All Forms of Coffee In April 2023,South Americas exports of all forms of coffee decreased by 6.4%to 3.57 million bags,driven by the three main origins of the region,Brazil,Colombia and Peru,which saw their combined exports fall by 17.9%.The two major origins of the region,Brazi
41、l and Colombia,saw their respective shipments of coffee decrease by 2.5%and 14.8%in April 2023,falling to 2.74 million and 0.73 million bags.In Colombia,adverse weather drove a fall in production which decreased by 6%in April 2023,thus explaining the decrease in exports.Peru continues to see its exp
42、orts fall at a significantly faster rate,having plunged by 62.5%in April 2023.Again,erratic weather played a part in this downturn,in addition to social unrest in the main producing areas(Cajamarca,Junn and San Martn)which saw their roads blocked.Exports of all forms of coffee from Africa decreased
43、by 9.8%to 0.94 million bags in April 2023 down from 1.04 million bags in April 2022.For the first seven months of the current coffee year,exports totalled 6.94 million bags compared with 7.37 million bags in coffee year 2021/22,down 5.9%.Ethiopia,Kenya and Uganda are the main drivers behind the fall
44、 in the regions exports,with shipments of coffee decreasing by 17.6%to 0.28 million bags compared with 0.34 million bags in April 2022,by 25.8%to 72,240 bags from 97,607 bags in April 2022 and by 8.4%to 0.37 million bags from 0.41 million bags over the same period,respectively.In its monthly report,
45、the Uganda Coffee Development Authority cited the impact of drought in the early part of the current coffee year,coupled with reduced exports to Sudan as the main reasons for the latest fall in exports.In Ethiopia,contract disputes arising from a mismatch between local purchasing prices and the glob
46、al market prices have been affecting the volume of exports since the early months of 2023.It is presumed that exporters are withholding the coffee until the disputes are resolved.In April 2023,exports of all forms of coffee from Mexico&Central America were up by 6.3%to 1.9 million bags compared with
47、 1.78 million in April 2022.This latest month of positive growth is the second in the first seven months of the current coffee year,with the other instance of positive growth seen in February 2023.As a result,the rate of decrease of the cumulative total has decelerated sharply,up to 4.0%in the first
48、 seven months of the current coffee year totalling 59.4%62.8%65.8%62.6%40.6%37.2%34.2%37.4%0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100%2022/232021/222020/212019/20Figure 7:Share of Green Exports by Coffee Species(October-April)ArabicasRobustasCoffee Market Report May 2023 8 8.01 million bags,compared with 6.8%
49、rate of fall for the first six months.Costa Rica,Honduras and Nicaragua were the main drivers of the positive growth in April 2023,up by 27.0%,13.0%and 11.2%,respectively.Exports of all forms of coffee from Asia&Oceania decreased by 1.0%to 3.75 million bags in April 2023 and were up 1.1%to 27.55 mil
50、lion bags in the first seven months of coffee year 2022/23.The marginal rate of increase for the region reflects the downturn of Indonesia(24.6%)edging out Vietnams 3.1%positive growth,the regions top producer and exporter.Vietnams exports for the first seven months of the current coffee year is up
51、6.7%to 19.18 million bags from 17.97 million bags,benefitting from both the 14.9%increase in domestic output in coffee year 2021/22 and supply difficulties faced by other large Robusta producers;Brazils exports of Robusta were down by 36.1%,in India by 31.1%and Uganda by 6.2%over October 2022-April
52、2023,respectively.Indonesias exports,on the other hand,appear to be negatively impacted by the decreased local production,which was estimated to have lowered by 4.7%in coffee year 2021/22.Exports of Coffee by Forms Total exports of soluble coffee decreased by 3.7%in April 2023 to 0.87 million bags f
53、rom 0.88 million bags in April 2022.In the first seven months of coffee year 2022/23,a total of 6.8 million bags of soluble coffee were exported,representing a decrease of 4.3%from the 7.1 million bags exported in the same period during the previous coffee year.Soluble coffees share in the total exp
54、orts of all forms of coffee was 9.4%(measured on a moving 12-month average)in April 2023,up from 9.1%in April 2022.Brazil is the largest exporter of soluble coffee,shipping 0.34 million bags in April 2023.Exports of roasted beans were up 38.6%in April 2023 to 72,925 bags,compared with 62,689 bags in

56、212021/222022/23Coffee Market Report May 2023 9 Production and Consumption The estimates and outlook for production and consumption for coffee years 2021/22 and 2022/23 remain the same.World coffee production decreased by 1.4%to 168.5 million bags in coffee year 2021/22,hampered by the off-biennial
57、production and negative meteorological conditions in a number of key origins.However,it is expected to bounce back by 1.7%to 171.3 million bags in 2022/23.Increased global fertiliser costs and adverse weather conditions are expected to partially offset the positive impact of biennial production from
58、 Brazil,explaining the relatively low rate of growth in coffee year 2022/23.The impact of biennial production is anticipated to drive the outlook for Arabica,which is projected to increase by 4.6%to 98.6 million bags in coffee year 2022/23,following a 7.2%decrease in the previous coffee year.Reflect
59、ing its cyclical output,Arabicas share of the total coffee production is expected to increase to 57.5%from 55.9%in coffee year 2021/22.South America is and will remain the largest producer of coffee in the world,despite suffering from the largest drop in output for almost 20 years,which fell by 7.6%
60、in coffee year 2021/22.The recovery in coffee year 2022/23,partly driven by biennial production,is expected to push the regions output to 82.4 million bags,a rise of 6.2%.World coffee consumption increased by 4.2%to 175.6 million bags in coffee year 2021/22,following a 0.6%rise the previous year.Rel
61、ease of the pent-up demand accumulated during the COVID-19 years and sharp global economic growth of 6.0%in 2021 explains the sharp bounce back in coffee consumption in coffee year 2021/22.Decelerating world economic growth rates for 2022 and 2023,coupled with the dramatic rise in the cost of living
62、,will have an impact on the coffee consumption for coffee year 2022/23.It is expected to grow,but at a decelerating rate of 1.7%to 178.5 million bags.The global deceleration is expected to come from non-producing countries,with Europes coffee consumption predicted to suffer the largest decrease amon

79、nd stocks.As noted in paragraph 100 of document ICC 120-16,these statistics can be supplemented and complemented by data from other sources when information received from Members is incomplete,delayed or inconsistent.The Secretariat also considers multiple sources for generating supply and demand ba
80、lance sheets for non-Members.The Secretariat uses the concept of the marketing year,that is the coffee year commencing on 1 October of each year,when looking at the global supply and demand balance.Coffee-producing countries are located in different regions around the world,with various crop years,i
81、.e.the 12-month period from one harvest to the next.The crop years currently used by the Secretariat commence on 1 April,1 July and 1 October.To maintain consistency,the Secretariat converts production data from a crop year basis to a marketing year basis depending on the harvest months for each cou
82、ntry.Using a coffee year basis for the global coffee supply and demand,as well as prices,ensures that analysis of the market situation occurs within the same time period.For example,the 2018/19 coffee year began on 1 October 2018 and ended 30 September 2019.However,for producers with crop years comm
83、encing on 1 April,the crop year production occurs across two coffee years.Brazils 2018/19 crop year began on 1 April 2018 and finished 31 March 2019,covering the first half of coffee year 2018/19.However,Brazils 2019/20 crop year commenced 1 April 2019 and ended 31 March 2020,covering the latter hal
84、f of coffee year 2019/20.In order to bring the crop year production into a single coffee year,the Secretariat would allocate a portion of the AprilMarch 2018/19 crop year production and a portion of the AprilMarch 2019/20 production into 2018/19 coffee year production.It should be noted that while e
85、stimates for coffee year production are created for each individual country,these are made for the purpose of creating a consistent aggregated supply-demand balance for analytical purposes and does not represent the production occurring on the ground within the individual countries.Note:Materials provided may be used,reproduced,or transmitted,in whole or in part,in any form or by any means,electronic or mechanical,including photocopying,recording or the use of any information storage and retrieval system,if the International Coffee Organization(ICO)is clearly acknowledged as the source.*
