Due to climate change, Brazil's present coffee production is suffering unfavourable temperatures, which are producing miscarriages in coffee plant blossoms, as well as an increased chance of coffee harvests burning. There have also been situations where growers have lost more than 20% of their coffee-growing land to fire.

Due to climate change, Brazil is experiencing higher temperatures and lower precipitation which are causing miscarriage of most of the coffee plant flowers. During the flowering, temperatures above 33 Celsius impair the pollen’s encounter with the flower egg, thus reducing the number of seeds. Even if the fertilization happens, the seeds in the formation will need at least 40 millimeters of rain after the blossom develops. There’s also a higher danger of coffee crops burning due to climate change. There are cases of producers who have lost more than 20% of their coffee-growing areas to fire. Another side effect of climate change is a delay in the coffee fertilization schedule. Growers typically follow well-planned crop maintenance schedules from September to March. In 2020, due to the lack of rain, fertilizer application has been delayed, and such delays may affect plants for two seasons to come
