Market analysis and forecasting
According to economic experts, global coffee prices are currently being directly affected by tight supply and unfavorable weather conditions in major producing countries. Stable demand and low inventory levels in some key markets are supporting prices.
In the short term, the market is expected to continue in a state of stalemate. However, price levels are still assessed to remain significantly higher than the same period in previous years due to unresolved logistics and climate change pressures.
