Why is coffee more expensive?
Asked 8 hours ago
Answer
Coffee prices are rising due to climate change, trade disruptions, inflation, and increased production costs. Major coffee-producing regions face droughts, frosts, and wildfires, reducing supply and pushing prices higher. Trade tariffs and shifting global demand also contribute to the surge.
