    Isn’t this because coffee harvests fell short due to drought caused by global warming?

        Yeah, climate change. More rains, more shifts is temperature, more drought as well.

        Its going to get A LOT worse.

        Why don’t they just move the floods to where the droughts are to solve both problems?

      Also because of the tariff threat on Brazil. You know, the country responsible for a bit over 1/3 of the coffee that USA imports

        I’m surprised that it’s not yet a common occurrence that when a seller learns that the buyer of goods is american, he simply marks the price up by 50% because of fuck you, thats why

          There is a semi-popular opinion here in Canada that we should also be adding an export tax to goods the US has no other place to source except from Canada. The US absolutely has to buy Canadian softwood lumber for Home construction. How about a 10% export tax, have fun building expensive houses.

            Potash, that would wreak havoc on the US fertilizer suppliers and the entire food chain.
