We will pay extra for coffee! The covid measures in Vietnam are to blame

Due to the deteriorating coronavirus situation, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where one of the country’s largest ports is located, has been closed for several weeks. That is why it is not possible to export coffee. Vietnam is a major producer of the robusta variety, which is also used in instant coffee.

“In addition, exports are hampered by a shortage of shipping containers and the rising cost of transport costs faced by exporters,” he warns. BBC.

Since the beginning of this year, prices for the robusta variety have risen by 50%. The Vietnamese Coffee and Cocoa Association and other organizations have already called on the Vietnamese government to ease the measures in place. According to them, this would prevent further delivery delays and prevent cost increases.

However, this is not the only problem that has hit the coffee market. Due to the huge droughts and frosts, the harvest in Brazil is also low. It is one of the largest producers of the Arabica variety. Coffee prices are thus the highest in the last seven years.

According to experts, the worst frosts have hit Brazil this year since 1994. They were so strong that some growers will have to replant a number of coffee trees. This means that they could start producing in three years at the earliest.
