Experts now say that due to climatic changes and a constant decrease in cultivatable land, the production of coffee is set to sink which would result in poorer tasting and higher priced coffee.

Consumption of coffee has doubled in the last 35 years. It is estimated that over 9.5 billion kilos of coffee was used in the year 2016 alone. Africa’s largest exporter and birthplace of coffee – Ethiopia is under serious jeopardy unless necessary actions are taken. Dr Aaron Davis, coffee researcher at Kew says that “In Ethiopia and all over the world really, if we do nothing there will be less coffee, it will probably taste worse and will cost more”.

Top exporters such as Brazil and Vietnam have started worrying due to the climate conditions. director of the World Coffee Research institute - Dr Tim Schilling has stated that “The supply of high-quality coffee is severely threatened by climate change, diseases and pests, land pressure, and labour shortages - and demand for these coffees is rising every year.
