# Brazil's drought continues, the yield of raw coffee beans is worrying in the next season, and farmers give up growing coffee. Nov/02 Update World Gafei

> Brazilian coffee farmers are reported to be switching from frost-damaged coffee to soybeans and corn after the worst frost in 27 years. Local estimates say up to 11% of planted area will be hit, with coffee output impaired for at least two seasons. Dry spring weather is also raising concerns for flowering.

## Why it matters

Acreage shifting from coffee to grain could add to Brazilian soybean and corn supply over time, which is mildly bearish for those grains. Continued drought would add upside risk to coffee and feed-grain prices if spring rains fail.
