@CoffeeNinjaRyan I’m at the London Coffee Festival and the Green Coffee traders are on their phones. Looking very concerned. These prices are once again heading to insanity. Big correction later this year but not before pain
@CoffeeNinjaRyan Maybe the pendings will slow down? I find this rally interesting as trade been increasing short but price fails to breakdown.
@CoffeeNinjaRyan Arabica wow it failed up here 2 months ago trade added to short but price still going up? Why?
@CoffeeNinjaRyan The Brazilians pending are likely the same ones that failed yesterday and are being appealed for regrading. Too coincidental that the numbers failed are the same to show up again. Plot thickens! Have a great Ninja-Turkey Day to you and your family!
@CoffeeNinjaRyan Last year re certs dumped the market.
@CoffeeNinjaRyan Tks! This helped me stride 1 step closer to know Futures.
@CoffeeNinjaRyan Hi, I am a coffee farmer from Brazil.
@F4tailhook Story of the last 6 months has been industry waking up to the fact that the stocks don’t matter and the market is broken
@davep_f1 @CoffeeNinjaRyan Unfortunately, Ryan for BR Coffee Producers, the damage is already done in some major areas in the Triangulo Mineiro Once blooming starts you need moisture and a strong rain 15 days later the outcome in BR when flowering occurs in August, is not very good as history tells us
++Brazil: Coffee growers worried about the potential of the 2024 harvest. ++ The president of COOXUPÉ, the largest coffee cooperative in the world, speaks: The productivity of our crops has fallen a lot and in September, projecting a harvest for next year is irresponsible",
@CoffeeNinjaRyan How is it possible to verify guesstimate the amount of coffee to come to market in the next 2 months? We are roughly at the same stock level as this time last year.
@CoffeeNinjaRyan @ClimatePredict I'm long totally biased, but l am looking at large crop already priced into the price & any disruption to this catches the CTAs offside biggley.
@kentfunny2021 @CoffeeNinjaRyan 95% chance of el nino peaking in early 2024
@CoffeeNinjaRyan Industry is drawing conclusion to quickly in haste on what crop size will be seeing flowering only on new farms under drip irrigation they aren't even considering the farms taking up heavy purning.
@CoffeeNinjaRyan Or is it because farmers in Brazil are unwilling to part with their produce at current price because they just ain't sure about the fruit set yet ?
@CoffeeNinjaRyan For years coffee operators far and wide scratch their head and ask; why would anyone certify coffee and deliver if they can easily fetch a better price on the open market? Answer: perfect setup to launder drug money from producing countries. Hmmm.
