Robusta Coffee Bean Supply Crunch in Vietnam Threatens to Spike Latte Prices
As a coffee lover, you may have noticed a recent spike in the price of your favorite latte. The culprit? A supply crunch of robusta coffee beans in Vietnam, the world’s largest producer of this bitter bean variety. With futures of robusta beans skyrocketing by 50% in London this year, the cost of your morning caffeine fix is likely to rise even higher.
The reason behind this price surge is a months-long drought in Vietnam, which has severely impacted the country’s robusta coffee bean harvest. As a result, farmers and exporters are struggling to meet the demands of coffee consumers worldwide. With weaker harvests and reduced supply, the cost of beans is expected to reach new heights, potentially affecting the price you pay for your daily cup of joe.
