Producers, traders, exporters, importers, roasters, and consumers have all experienced the effects of dramatic shifts in the coffee market.In this final episode of the series, Augusto shares his perspective on the factors that may influence coffee prices over the next twelve months and why the industry should prepare for continued uncertainty rather than expecting stability.The discussion explores the relationship between market cycles, production forecasts, weather events, global demand, and producer economics. Lee and Augusto also examine what recent price movements may be signalling and why the challenges facing coffee producers extend far beyond the numbers displayed on a commodity exchange.One of the central themes of this conversation is the growing importance of relationships. As supply chains face increasing pressure from climate events, changing production patterns, and economic uncertainty, businesses that have invested in long-term partnerships may find themselves in a stronger position than those relying solely on market opportunities.Whether coffee prices rise, fall, or remain volatile, the questions explored in this episode reach beyond forecasting. They invite us to consider what kind of coffee industry we are building and who will be best positioned to navigate whatever comes next.Connect with Augusto Amaya & Arcadia Green CoffeeWebsite: https://arcadiacoffee.ie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/augusto-amaya-irecol/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arcadiagreencoffee/WhatsApp: https://wa.me/353877871523If you found this episode valuable, make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series.
