The Role of Climate Change in Shaping the Coffee Trade

Climate change is significantly impacting the coffee trade, reshaping both production and global markets. Rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and unpredictable rainfall are stressing coffee plants, particularly the sensitive Arabica variety. These changes lead to reduced crop yields, altered flavor profiles, and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Coffee-growing regions may shift, with higher altitudes becoming more favorable, potentially displacing traditional coffee-growing communities. Producers are adapting with sustainable practices and seeking resilient coffee strains, but the costs and challenges are high. The evolving climate landscape urges industry stakeholders to innovate and collaborate for a sustainable future in coffee production.
