""The next decade will be decisive. Whether coffee chains can remain resilient in the face of climate change will depend on the choices made today by producers, buyers and investors alike.""
""Specialty coffees and brand origins may suffer the most as warming temperatures reshape arabica-growing landscapes. The conditions under which coffee is grown - soil type, altitude, sunlight, rainfall and temperature - shape its flavor profile, much like terroir in wine.""
Rabobank warns that climate change could make 20% of current arabica coffee growing areas unsuitable by 2050. Currently, 8% of these areas are already unsuitable. Honduras may see its suitable arabica area drop to 12%, while Ethiopia could experience an expansion of suitable zones. The report emphasizes that the next decade is crucial for coffee producers, buyers, and investors to adapt to climate challenges. Specialty coffees may be particularly affected as changing conditions alter flavor profiles linked to specific origins.
