Coffee prices rose by around 70 percent within one year
A price increase for coffee had already emerged at the end of last year. The price for Arabica beans traded on the ICE raw material exchange in New York climbed the highest value in November for decades. In 2024 alone, raw coffee prices rose by around 70 percent.
