Coffee Rose on Concern Chilly Weather May Hurt 2009 Brazil Crop 2008-06-06 16:15 (New York) By Shruti Date Singh June 6 (Bloomberg) -- Coffee rose in New York, capping the biggest weekly gain in a month, on concern that cold air forecast to reach Brazil, the biggest grower in the world, may hinder the development of crops harvested next year. For several days starting June 16, temperatures may reach the low 40s Fahrenheit (as low as 4 degrees Celsius) in the southern part of the coffee belt, said Dale Mohler, a senior meteorologist at Accuweather.com in State College, Pennsylvania. While there may not be a damaging frost, the odds of one are higher than normal as prevailing winter winds are more likely to drive cold air into the country's south-central region. ``With the recent talk of frost in the third week of June, the markets are basically not letting prices drop,'' said Rohit Savant, an analyst for CPM Group in New York. Coffee futures for July delivery rose 0.05 cent to $1.3585 a pound on ICE Futures U.S., the former New York Board of Trade. Most-active futures have gained 1.5 percent this week, the most since the week ended May 9, and are up 17 percent in the past year. Lingering concern that cold weather will hurt the crop may send coffee futures to $1.42 a pound, Savant said. Forecasts for milder weather may send prices down to $1.29, he said. ``If frost is not predicted, then there's a likelihood coffee prices could fall,'' Savant said. Mid-June temperatures usually range from mid-50s to low 80s Fahrenheit in Brazil's main coffee-growing regions of Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, said Joel Burgio, a meteorologist with Meteorlogix LLC in Woburn, Massachusetts. Weather Outlook If long-range forecasts are verified, the region ``would be cooler than it has been, but not cool enough to be a problem,'' Burgio said. Temperatures through June 13 should be normal or above that in the main growing regions, he said. Brazil's crop for the marketing year that starts next month, the higher-yielding part of a biennial growing cycle, may jump to 51.1 million bags from 37.6 million in the year that ends this month, a U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service attache report said earlier this week. A bag weighs 132 pounds (60 kilograms). If frost does affect the region, it may hamper development of the crop that will be picked in 2009, when the harvest is already expected to be smaller because trees will enter the lower-producing period of the cycle, Savant said.
