SAO PAULO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Brazil's 2025/26 coffee

harvest is seen coming in slightly under the current crop,

consultancy firm StoneX ( SNEX ) said on Thursday, giving its first

estimate for the upcoming crop.

StoneX ( SNEX ) sees the 2025/26 coffee crop at 65.6 million 60-kg

bags, just under the 65.9 million bags expected for 2024/25.

The consultancy sees the arabica variety from Brazil - the

world's largest coffee producer and exporter - at 40 million

bags in the next season, 10.5% under what is expected from the

current crop.

Meanwhile, StoneX ( SNEX ) projected the robusta crop - a variety

commonly used by the industry to make instant coffee and blends

- to grow nearly 21% to 25.6 million bags in the next season.
