Wondering why?

Well, coffee prices are on the rise this year with the rates in India for arabica and robusta surging to record highs. According to the Trading Economics website, coffee prices have increased 32.23% since the beginning of 2024.

Robusta coffee prices are at a record high due to a supply shortage caused by a slowdown in shipments from Vietnam, the top producer. Demand for robusta has also been increasing as roasters are switching over from highly-priced arabica.
