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.

WHEN SUPPLY CHAINS STRAIN, PRICES SPIKE

Cocoa and coffee prices are climbing fast. Up 163% and 103% respectively over the past year as constrained supply and harvest unpredictability ripple through the market. Disruptions across key producing regions are exposing how fragile traditional sourcing has become, with climate volatility accelerating the instability.

COCOA:50 kg CO₂ per kg produced

Mass-produced, non-specialty coffee and cocoa contribute significantly to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and emissions. Their cultivation depends on monoculture systems and long global supply chains that strain ecosystems and communities.
