75% of Global Coffee Supply Faces Rising Extreme Heat, Analysis Says
Coffee-producing countries face an average of 47 extra damaging heat days annually, leading to reduced yields and a 37.4% rise in global coffee prices, researchers said.
- On Wednesday, Climate Central reported 25 coffee-producing countries averaged 47 extra coffee-harming heat days between 2021 and 2025 due to human-made climate change.
- By comparing observed temperatures with a no-warming model, Climate Central estimated extra hot days above 30 C harm coffee plants due to human-caused warming.
- In Colombia, Chalo Fernandez reports farms have lost over half a harvest in recent years, facing 48 extra damaging heat days, according to Climate Central.
- The heat is already reducing yields and quality, as Statistics Canada reported coffee plants face more hot days, damaging crops and raising prices for consumers in Canada.
- Longer term, experts say increasing weather variability threatens supply as smallholder farms across the Bean Belt lack resources and next generations of coffee farmers may leave, raising price risks.

This follows from a new scientific analysis published on Wednesday by the non-profit organization Climate Central, which has analyzed the temperatures observed between 2021 and 2025, comparing them with a hypothetical world without climate change. According to its results, the five main coffee-producing countries (Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia), responsible for 75% of the supply, experienced on average 57 additional days of h…
