Is your cup of coffee about to get more expensive going in to 2019?
Coffee prices have been sliding for years, dating back to 2016 and the conventional wisdom is that a record harvest expected this year in Brazil, the world’s largest producer of coffee, is set to keep prices low. However, according to a recent report from Barron’s, prices for coffee could take off going into 2019, which isn’t great for those coffee fiends out there; it looks like your cup of joe could get a bit more expensive.
In this post, we’ll be taking a look at current real-world examples to show how supply and demand and other market forces can impact the raw materials prices of some of the typical ingredients of a cup of coffee and how that is likely to influence how much you pay for one going into 2019.
Expect to be paying more for a cup of coffee in 2017
For all of you coffee fiends out there, we’ve got some bad news: As reported by Bloomberg last month, it looks like your morning cup of joe is about to get a little more expensive. That’s not all, however, as it looks like the milk you put in your coffee is also about to get a bit pricier to boot. In this post we will attempt to apply economics to something all economists and non-economists can understand: a cup of coffee. We’ll be taking current real-world examples to show how supply and demand can impact the prices of some of the typical ingredients for a cup of coffee and how that is likely to influence how much you pay for one in 2017.
