Can't afford to drink coffee with reduced production of Brazilian coffee beans?

Yesterday, a piece of news on Weibo that "the price of coffee beans is going up, so we can't afford to drink coffee" has aroused a lot of netizens' discussion. But coffee lovers in Wuhan need not worry-the reporter called Nestle and other companies yesterday and got the answer that they had not received the notice of price increase yet.

The Weibo post said: "Brazil supplies 40% of the world's coffee beans, this year's severe drought, production is expected to fall 18%, coffee bean prices have been rising." Yunnan coffee beans have increased by 30% to 40%, which still cannot fill the global gap. Yunnan also took the opportunity to raise prices, which are twice as high as last year. Starbucks imported nearly 14000 bags of Arabica coffee beans from China in the first nine months, more than five times that of the whole of last year. " The Weibo post drew comments from many netizens: "losing all my money can't stop me from drinking coffee", "hearing this terrible news, I was shocked by a cup of coffee" and so on. Many people say that as coffee lovers, they really do not want to see the price of coffee go up. However, some netizens pointed out that the price of a certain brand of coffee they bought is indeed rising.

The reporter then visited several supermarkets and coffee shops in Jiangcheng and found that the price of freshly ground coffee or instant coffee did not rise significantly.

So will the price of coffee be adjusted later? Yesterday, the reporter interviewed he Tong, the relevant person in charge of Nestl é China on this news. He Tong said that the company had no plans to raise prices at present, and laughed that "the company's coffee raw material reserves are very sufficient."
