Coffee market crisis: Arabica rose in price by 70%

The global coffee trade is experiencing a severe crisis caused by a sharp jump in the price of coffee beans. This provoked a decrease in the volume of purchases from retailers. 

At the annual convention of the American National Coffee Association, participants expressed growing concern about the rising cost of Arabica coffee, which has recently increased by 70%. The main reasons for this trend were a reduction in production and limited demand. 

Some companies operating in the industry were on the verge of bankruptcy, while others reported forced production cuts. Despite this difficult situation, analysts suggest that by the end of the year, the cost of arabica beans may decrease by 30%. 

This is due to the increase in coffee production in Brazil, despite the continued high cost. However, for a number of sellers, the current situation remains extremely uncertain due to market instability and unpredictable factors.
