Climate Change Drives Up Coffee Prices and Threatens Supply

Rising temperatures and erratic weather are impacting coffee production globally, leading to higher costs and potential long-term shortages.

Key coffee-producing regions like Vietnam and Indonesia are facing severe droughts and erratic weather patterns, reducing coffee yields.
The price of robusta coffee has nearly doubled since early 2023 due to climate-induced crop losses.
Climate change is expected to render up to 50% of current coffee-growing land unsuitable by 2050.
Small-scale farmers, who produce about 70% of the world's coffee, are particularly vulnerable to these changes.
Technological advancements and sustainable practices are crucial but require significant investment and time to implement.
