S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian coffee exports reached US$ 647.6 million in March, a 55.2% increase over the same month of last year, according to information disclosed this Thursday (7th) by the Brazilian Coffee Exporter Council (Cecaf\u00e9).<\/p>\n
A total of 2.7 million 60-kilogram bags were shipped last month, an increase of only 1.3% over March 2010, which attests to the year-on-year price increase.

In the first quarter, exports reached US$ 1.86 billion, a 61% increase over the first quarter of last year. Foreign sales totalled 8.2 million bags, 11% more using the same basis of comparison.<\/p>\n
