Climate change will pose a serious threat to coffee in Latin America, where coffee production will be 90% lower by 2050 than it is today, according to a study released on Monday.

In particular, some high-quality coffee, such as Arabica coffee, this coffee bean can not withstand even the slightest change in temperature, humidity and sunshine. Robusta coffee, which is mostly produced in Africa, has a relatively strong bearing capacity.

The regions with the biggest losses are expected to be Honduras, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

But for some alpine areas of Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Mexico, global warming may benefit the growth of coffee beans.
