The reason why coffee prices are increasing
According to Telegraph magazine, the average price of a cup of coffee is now up to 3 pounds at the largest coffee chains in the UK. Prices have increased by 50p per cup with no signs of decreasing. Origin Coffee’s research suggests that coffee prices are increasing possibly due to inflation, increased farm operating costs and issues of fair wages for farmers. High inflation causes the prices of all raw materials, products, and services to increase. This causes the cost of raw materials, machinery, and equipment necessary for the production, transportation, and supply of coffee to increase, leading to an increase in coffee prices. A sub-study shows that rising energy costs due to inflation have caused the average price of a cup of coffee to increase from £2.78 to £2.88 in just 3 months (February – May 2022).
In addition, high-quality coffee or organic coffee with sustainable, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance Certified certifications require a lot of cost and effort, which will skyrocket. With some sustainable coffee certifications, producers need to ensure they meet coffee quality standards and pay fair prices for labor and the farm environment. However, they do not receive outside support, which is mostly personal capital. Therefore, these amounts are included in production costs, causing coffee prices to increase.
Climate change is also the cause of coffee prices increasing rapidly in recent years. Because the world is gradually warming, weather developments are becoming more complicated and difficult to predict, causing coffee output to decline rapidly. This causes supply disruptions, creating global price fevers. For example, drought in many parts of South America has caused coffee prices to increase by nearly 39% in total and over the past two years (according to the Wall Street Journal).
