In 2025, coffee prices stayed high after a strong rise in 2024 and continued to increase due to supply problems. Bad weather in major producing countries like Brazil, Vietnam, and Indonesia reduced crop output. Dry conditions and heavy rains damaged coffee plants and lowered export volumes, which tightened global supply. At the same time, higher shipping costs added extra pressure on prices.

Trade policies also played a role, as new tariffs and uncertainty in key markets increased costs for exporters and buyers. This made coffee more expensive for businesses and consumers, especially in large markets like the United States and Europe. Many coffee shops and retailers struggled to manage rising costs and were forced to adjust prices. High prices also reduced demand in some regions, with consumers cutting back on consumption. Overall, 2025 showed a strong upward price trend driven mainly by supply shortages, climate issues, and trade disruptions.

About Coffee

Coffee is a well-known brewed drink that is produced from roasted coffee beans. These coffee beans are the seeds of berries belonging to certain Coffea species. It is darkly colored, bitter, moderately acidic, and has a stimulating effect in humans as it is a rich source of caffeine. As it has become one of the most popular drinks in the world, coffee plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries, mainly in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Africa.

Coffee Production Process

  • Production of Coffee from Coffee Beans

Coffee beans are turned into a beverage in a process consisting of four basic steps. First, the coffee beans are roasted, which are then ground. The ground coffee is then combined with hot water, that is, brewed, and finally the liquid Coffee is separated from the used grounds. Although, at homes, it is generally prepared from already roasted, or already roasted and ground beans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coffee prices weakened during Q1 2026 after reaching historically elevated levels in 2025. Improved global supply expectations, recovering production in Vietnam, and forecasts for record world coffee output weighed on market sentiment. Arabica and Robusta benchmark prices both declined during the quarter, although weather risks in Brazil and Colombia and historically low global inventories continued to limit deeper price corrections.
The coffee outlook for 2026 remains mixed. USDA forecasts record global production of 178.8 million 60-kg bags in 2025/26, supported by recovery in Vietnam and record output in Indonesia and Ethiopia. However, Brazil and Colombia continue facing weather-related challenges. Despite higher production, global ending stocks are projected to fall to around 20.1 million bags, keeping supply conditions relatively tight.
Coffee prices were influenced by improving export availability, changing crop expectations, and recovering Vietnamese production. However, lower production in Brazil and Colombia, weather-related risks, and declining global inventories limited stronger downward pressure. Market sentiment remained sensitive to both supply recovery and historically tight stock levels.
Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Indonesia, Ethiopia, India, and Honduras are major players in the coffee market. Brazil remains the largest producer, while Vietnam dominates Robusta supply. Colombia is important for Arabica, and Ethiopia remains a major African origin. India and Honduras are also important exporters, with production shaped by weather, crop cycles, and pest pressure.
Brazil's first official 2026 crop estimate projected production at 66.2 million bags, up 17.1% from 2025. Producing area was forecast to increase 4.1%, while productivity was expected to improve 12.4% to 34.2 bags per hectare. Because Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer and exporter, the forecast significantly improved global supply expectations and weighed on coffee market sentiment.
Coffee trees generally begin commercial production 3–4 years after planting, while cherries require around 7–9 months from flowering to harvest. Arabica performs best at 18–22°C and Robusta at 22–30°C. Seasonal rainfall patterns strongly influence flowering, fruit development, yield potential, and harvest timing, making weather one of the most important drivers of coffee supply.
Weather stress was the main environmental factor affecting coffee plants in Q1 2026. Brazil’s Arabica crop was affected by drought and high temperatures, while Colombia faced excessive rain and cloud cover that disrupted flowering. Wet conditions also increased leaf rust risk, though resistant varieties helped limit detection. India faced dry spells, strong winds, and excess pre-monsoon rain.
Brazil’s 2026 coffee crop outlook showed improved area and productivity. Producing area was estimated to rise 4.1%, while productivity was expected to increase 12.4% to 34.2 bags per hectare. This helped lift Brazil’s production estimate to 66.2 million processed bags, with Arabica at 44.1 million bags and conilon at 22.1 million bags.
Vietnam’s Q1 2026 export performance added pressure to coffee sentiment by improving global availability. Official customs data showed coffee exports at 590,498 tonnes from January to March 2026, up 12.5% year-on-year, while export value declined. This indicated better shipment volume but weaker pricing compared with the previous year’s high base.
Procurement Resource employs a structured methodology combining primary research, secondary market intelligence, analytical models, and validation processes to assess coffee prices and market trends. Evaluations incorporate crop conditions, yields, inventories, export performance, trade flows, and value chain analysis, supported by continuous market monitoring and cross-verification.
