Cocoa and coffee supply chain volatility is now a major business risk
COFFEE & COCOA SUPPLY CHAINS ARE UNDER PRESSURE
Rising input costs, inconsistent yields, and increasingly unreliable harvests are disrupting global coffee and cocoa supply. Regions that once provided stable sourcing, like West Africa and Latin America, are facing growing challenges. By 2050, as much as 50% of today’s coffee-growing regions may no longer be viable due to changing conditions.
GROWING DEMAND , STRAINED SUPPLY CHAINS: COFFEE
Global demand for coffee continues to climb but sourcing it is becoming more unpredictable and expensive.
In 2024/25, coffee consumption is projected to reach 168.1M bags, while production hovers at 174.9M bags, with volatile weather in key regions like Brazil threatening future harvests.
