Last Updated: 2026/08/23, Australian prices are going through a frenzy and coffee prices are getting more expensive. Australian coffee prices are also rising as a result of the outbreak, news.com.au reported. Related reports point out that, hit by the epidemic, the freight and transportation costs of imported coffee beans have increased sharply, and local cafes will increase coffee prices.

Australian prices are going through a frenzy, and coffee is becoming more and more expensive.

According to news.com.au, the price of Australian coffee is about to rise due to the impact of the epidemic.

Related reports pointed out: hit by the epidemic, the freight and transportation costs of imported coffee beans have increased sharply, and local cafes will raise the price of coffee. Sean Edwards, a spokesman for an Australian cafe owner and barista association, said: the price of coffee is likely to rise slightly, and the price of each cup of coffee is expected to rise by 50 Australian cents to A $1. Edwards pointed out that the increase in consumer coffee prices is in direct proportion to the increase in commodity prices faced by local coffee manufacturers.

In addition, Daily Mail reported that Australians are expected to spend about A $350 more a year on coffee drinks because of the rising price of coffee.

Due to the epidemic, more than 25% of the cafes have been forced to close, and cafes in central Australia are expected to be severely affected because of the soaring cost of coffee transportation. According to statistics, in the past year, the cost of importing coffee beans has risen sharply, and the freight price of coffee this year is almost double that of last year. Coupled with the severe drought in the coffee producing areas of Brazilian origin, coffee production has dropped sharply, so some cafes have to raise the price of coffee. At present, some cafes have proposed a price increase of 5%, and Bread Social, located in the northern part of NSW, has proposed a price increase of 5%, the first increase in the store's price in five years. People in the industry say that the price of coffee will rise across the board in the future. Apart from coffee, there has also been a surge in the prices of other goods in Australia, including fruits, vegetables, cooking oil, milk and beans.

News.com.au pointed out that the current price increase of fruits and vegetables has reached 7%. The data show that the price of local seasonal fruit grapes this year is about 40% of that of last year, and the price of the most expensive grapes has reached A $20 a kilogram. In addition, the price of cooking oil rose by 4%, milk and beans by 3%, and milk and eggs by 2%.

Returning to the topic of Australian cafes, foreign media also reported last year that cafes across Australia have been badly hit by forest fires and epidemics, with more than half of Australia's 20,000 cafes losing more than 50%.

To this end, Harris Coffee has launched a cafe recovery plan called "Harris Caf é", which plans to invest A $1 million to help Australian cafes tide over the difficulties.

According to foreign media reports, 25 cafes eventually succeeded in getting help from the "Harris Caf é" program, while enjoying an one-year free supply from "Harris Caf é", a free coffee machine and takeaway cups, as well as a sales assistance of A $5000.

Since the beginning of this year, the signal of a rise in the price of coffee has also been reported many times. According to the analysis of the coffee industry, the supply of coffee beans is still tight, but the demand is not decreasing, and due to the shortage of coffee beans, insufficient containers, port congestion and many other factors, coffee prices may rise further, and after the new round of price increases, mid-range coffee brands may be the hardest hit. Because Starbucks, the world's largest coffee chain, buys in advance, Starbucks has pointed out that it has completed about 14 months of coffee reserves, so coffee prices will not rise in 2021 or close to the entire fiscal year 2022.
