Coffee prices are experiencing a significant rise, yet this isn’t entirely good news for growers. While the increase might seem beneficial, growers are facing challenges that temper their celebration. Coffee roasters are considering or have already started raising prices, adapting to the market shift. Industry experts offer advice on managing these changes effectively. Despite record high prices, the growers’ joy may be short-lived due to potential market fluctuations. Meanwhile, local coffee shop owners are preparing for increased costs, though they remain optimistic about maintaining customer loyalty thanks to strong community ties. This trend suggests that coffee prices may continue to climb in the near future. — news from The New York Times
