Robusta is under pressure from the new crop entering the market. In addition, this commodity is under pressure after the General Department of Customs reported that Vietnam's coffee exports in December increased by 102.6% compared to the same period last year, reaching 127,655 tons.
Rainfall in Brazil was assessed as below normal, helping Arabica regain momentum during the week. Graded Arabica stocks were expected to fall by 415 bags to 980,543 bags.
