Glaucio de Castro
Glaucio de Castro is a second-generation coffee farmer in Brazil, managing a 320-hectare farm in the Cerrado region of Minas Gerais, which is renowned for its high-quality Arabica coffee. Despite the prime location, Castro has faced significant challenges in recent years, including natural disasters that have severely reduced his coffee yields. His production has declined from a peak of 14,000 sacks in 2020 to just 6,500 sacks due to adverse weather conditions such as frost and drought. In 2023, he anticipates a better harvest of around 11,000 sacks, but it remains below historical averages. Additionally, Castro has spoken out about the rising costs of farming, including labor and inputs, which have made it increasingly difficult for him to sustain his operations amid the fluctuating coffee market.
