Well... This is a complex question with the Great Depression, trade diminished significantly, not to mention there was a huge decline in coffee prices. The government started burning large sacks of coffee in an attempt to help the problem of overproduction, which was unsuccessful because no other country was doing that.
This could have led to the Revolution of 1930 and the rise to power of Vargas (the dictator). Under Vargas, the government attempted to regain Brazil's market share of coffee exports and stop people from producing more coffee, which also fail. However, because of the old tradition of planting other crops between coffee trees, it was easy for people to start producing things like cotton. So the cotton production increased significantly in the 1930s, while coffee production dropped.
