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.
- Coffee producers in Colombia and Brazil are experiencing an average of 57 additional days per year with temperatures above 30°C, which damages coffee plants by reducing yield and quality and increasing vulnerability to pests and fungus.
- These climate effects cause significant stress to coffee crops, contributing to financial hardship for farmers and crop losses, as explained by coffee grower Chalo Fernandez and experts from Climate Central.
- The increased frequency of heat has led to volatility in coffee production and a 37.4% rise in retail coffee prices in Canada, impacting consumers economically.
- Climate Central's analysis shows that this rise in damaging heat days is a widespread phenomenon affecting major coffee-producing countries and is not isolated to specific years.
