Why is the price of green coffee increasing?

The prices of green coffee are increasing, due to several factors:

1. Drought in Brazil at the start of 2021

2. A wave of frost hit the Brazilian plantations in July 2021 -> this could lead to a loss of 6 million bags for the next harvest

3. Colombia faces political conflicts -> it disrupts the country's harvest, import and export.

4. The covid crisis has impacted closed “coffee” places, thus generating a sharp drop in demand, and therefore an increase in prices.

So roasters like us are impacted by these price increases. So we have to readjust our prices.
