Rising temperatures in tropics to lead to lower coffee yields and higher prices, study suggests

Climate crisis to deliver 'ongoing systemic shocks' to production as hot conditions become more frequent, researchers sayClimate conditions that reduce coffee yield have become more frequent over the past four decades, with rising temperatures from global heating likely to lead to "ongoing systemic shocks" to coffee production globally, new research suggests.Researchers analysed the impacts of climate factors such as temperature, rainfall and humidity in the top 12 coffee-producing countries globally between 1980 and 2020.
