Coffee producers across the world are facing more crop-damaging heat, new climate change 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.
- The top five coffee-producing countries, including Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, experience an average of 57 additional days annually with temperatures above 30°C, which harm coffee crops and threaten yields and quality.
- Ethiopia, where over four million households rely on coffee income and which is a key coffee origin, faces 34 extra days of heat detrimental to Arabica coffee, a variety sensitive to high temperatures and sunlight.
