Recently, there has been significant news surrounding a potential trade dispute with Colombia that could have serious implications for the coffee industry. On Sunday, January 26th, former President Trump announced a potential 25% tariff on all imports from Colombia, including coffee. While the immediate crisis appears to have been resolved, the events underscore a larger trend: the ongoing use of tariffs as a tool in international disputes.
These kinds of developments are almost certain to increase coffee prices across the board. It’s important to stress that any price increases that may result are not something our company or others in the industry will profit from. In fact, they will impact all coffee suppliers, roasters, and, ultimately, coffee drinkers.
