The overheating of our planet is putting coffee bean crops at risk, and it's not just the people who rely on a morning caffeine boost who will be affected.
What's happening?
According to Inside Climate News, coffee prices reached an all-time high in late November as the impact of drought began to take hold of the industry.
Brazil and Vietnam — two of the largest coffee-producing countries on the planet — have dealt with drought during 2024, dramatically reducing yields and increasing the prices of supplies that remain.
As ICN observed, scientists have pointed to human-caused global heating and the impact of El Niño — a climate pattern that occurs once every few years — as reasons for the increasingly dry conditions.
The drought has also been made worse by deforestation activity in Brazil, which the Washington Post noted changes rainfall patterns and reduces soil's ability to hold water.
Meanwhile, VOA reported that Vietnam saw its worst drought in nearly a decade, while ICN said the impact of Typhoon Yagi in September has also affected crop production.
