MILAN – Fairtrade America is hosting an upcoming webinar to share an in-depth look at how COVID-19 is impacting the global coffee industry. From Africa to Latin America to Asia, coffee producers have faced unforeseen challenges due to COVID-19.
More specifically, coffee producers in Latin America face challenges with harvesting, transporting and exporting coffee beans.
Wider economic downturn is expected to slow prices, which are already historically low. Prior to the pandemic, nearly 61% of coffee farmers sold their coffee at prices under the cost of sustainable production.
