Daily observations of the CEPEA/ESALQ Robusta coffee price indicator, accompanied by an inflation-adjusted dollar series and a derived moving-average column.
spot_rs and spot_us are nominal at-sight prices in Brazilian reais and
U.S. dollars per 60-kg bag. CEPEA converts the dollar value using the
commercial selling exchange rate quoted at 16:30. usd_2022 is calculated
in this package from spot_us using U.S. inflation data and priceR.
CEPEA defines the indicator as type 6 Robusta coffee, screen 13 or above, with 86 defects. It represents wholesale lot transactions to be collected in the producing region, so the indicator does not include freight. The reference regions are Colatina and São Gabriel da Palha in Espírito Santo, and the final indicator is their arithmetic average. CEPEA includes taxes in the reported values and excludes observations outside two standard deviations from the sample mean. For term transactions, CEPEA discounts prices at CDI from 2021-03-01; before that it used NPR. The survey consults cooperatives, brokers, roasters, and exporters.
The indicator is daily and its historical series begins in November 2001. The bundled observations run from 2001-11-08 through 2025-04-17.
