Café -  16-10-2014

Sumário do Tempo

Um quadro de tempo mais seco retorna para áreas de café. A frente fria enfraqueceu, depois de causar alguma chuva muito isolada na parte sul de Minas Gerais. Nos próximos dias domina o calor e tempo seco nas áreas de café. No fim de semana, algumas chuvas em forma de pancadas já poderão ser observadas no domingo, entre o Paraná e sul de São Paulo. Na segunda-feira, uma frente fria chega e traz chuva mais espalhada, ainda assim com baixo volume acumulado.

Tempo seco e quente compromete cafezais

A primeira quinzena de outubro termina terrível para a produção de café do Brasil. As chuvas do final de setembro induziram a abertura dos botões florais em vários municípios produtores de São Paulo e Minas Gerais, porém o tempo voltou a ficar firme e comprometeu o pegamento da florada.
Vale salientar que a florada do final de setembro e início de outubro foi muito irregular, ou seja, não foram todas as regiões que a registraram, nem toda planta. Ainda há botões florais para abrir, que esperam somente a próxima chuva.
Com a demora na ocorrência dessas chuvas a planta está sobre forte estresse hídrico e térmico, por isso, muitos botões florais poderão morrer. Com isso, a produtividade para a safra 2015 ficará comprometida. Ainda é cedo para mensurar as reais perdas da produção cafeeira, mas é fato que será menor do que a média para um ano de bienalidade baixa, como será a de 2015.
As plantas estão com baixos índices foliares e isso poderá colaborar para um percentual mais baixo de pegamento dos botões florais e até mesmo o abortamento dos chumbinhos.
Quando as chuvas retornarem de forma definitiva nas regiões cafeeiras – no mês de novembro – as plantas serão estimuladas a terem novas floradas e isso poderá minimizar as perdas ocorridas até o momento. Mas como mencionado acima, a produção de café em 2015 deverá sofrer reduções significativas.

Previsão para os próximos 10 dias
Para essa semana não há previsão de chuvas sobre as regiões cafeeiras e as temperaturas ainda ficarão muito acima da média para essa época do ano, o que agrava ainda mais a situação dos cafezais, porque paralisa o seu metabolismo.
As chuvas só voltarão para as regiões cafeeiras em meados da semana que vem, mas os volumes acumulados serão insuficientes para elevar os níveis de umidade do solo a patamares confortáveis ao desenvolvimento das plantas. Chuvas em bons volumes e com boa regularidade só deverão ser registradas no finalzinho do mês de outubro e ao longo de novembro

Summary of Time

A framework for drier weather returns to coffee areas. A cold front weakened after causing some very isolated rain in the southern part of Minas Gerais.

On Monday, a cold front arrives and brings more scattered rain, still with low cumulative volume.

Dry and hot weather undertakes plantations

The first half of October ends terrible for coffee production in Brazil. The rains of late September led the opening of the buds in various producing municipalities of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, but the time came to stand firm and committed the fixation of flowering.
It is noteworthy that the bloom from late September and early October was very irregular, ie, were not all regions that recorded, not every plant. There is still floral to open, waiting only the buttons next rain.
With the delay in any rainfall the plant is under severe drought and heat stress, so many flower buds may die. Thus, productivity for the 2015 season will be compromised. It is still early to measure the actual losses from coffee production, but it is a fact that will be less than the average for one-year low biannuality, as will 2015.
The plants are low foliar indices and this may contribute to a lower percentage of fixation of the buds and even abortion of pellets.
When the rains return permanently in the coffee regions - in November - the plants will be encouraged to have new blooms and this can minimize the losses incurred so far. But as mentioned above, coffee production in 2015 is likely to suffer significant reductions.

Forecast for the next 10 days
For this week there is no forecast of rain on coffee regions and temperatures will still be well above average for this time of year, which further aggravates the situation of the coffee plantations, because paralyzes your metabolism.
The rains only come back to the coffee regions in the middle of next week, but the accumulated volumes are insufficient to raise levels of soil moisture to comfortable levels for plant growth. Good rains in volumes and with good regularity should be recorded at the very end of October and throughout November

Arabica-Coffee Futures Give Up Gains Amid Equities' Slide

  Arabica-coffee prices turned lower Wednesday, as investors unnerved by a steep slide in stocks
locked in profits on recent gains.
  Arabica for December on the ICE Futures U.S. exchange settled down 2.7% at $2.1600 a pound, its
steepest slide since Sept. 25. Earlier in the session, prices rose to $2.2455 a pound, less than one
cent away from nearly three-year highs.
  Prices have doubled this year as Brazil's worst drought in decades hurt this season's crop and
weakened trees, casting doubt over next year's harvest from the world's top coffee producer. But
Wednesday's sharp decline in U.S. stocks jangled nerves across asset markets, pushing some investors
to sell, analysts said.
  "At the end of the day, people just decided to take some money off the table and let the smoke
clear and see what happens next," said Jack Scoville, a vice president at Chicago brokerage Price
Futures Group.
  The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 400 points during the day as global growth worries
pushed investors into safe-haven government bonds and gold. The benchmark stock index was recently
down 1.8% at 16026.
  Also pushing down prices was a weaker Brazilian real, analysts said. Brazilian coffee producers
are incentivized to sell more of their beans when the local currency slips against the dollar
because the profits in terms of the real rise. The dollar was recently up 1.4% against the Brazilian
currency, at 2.4368.
  In other markets, orange juice for November was up 1.9% at $1.3680 a pound. Cocoa for December was
up 1.6% to $3,153 a ton.
  Raw sugar for March was down 1.8% to 16.50 cents a pound, while cotton for December was 0.7% lower
at 63.71 cents a pound.
