Coffee Prices Surge as Sprouts and Klatch Expand; National Coffee Day Deals Unveiled
Global Coffee Prices Surge Amid Tight Supplies and Tariffs
Global coffee prices have surged significantly due to tight inventories and export declines. Arabica coffee inventories reached a 17.5-month low, while Robusta stocks fell to a 1.75-month low. The situation is exacerbated by a 50% US tariff on Brazilian coffee imports, which led to a 28% year-over-year drop in Brazil’s coffee exports in July 2025. Consequently, Arabica December 2025 futures increased by 5.03%, and Robusta futures rose by 2.45%, reflecting tightening global supply conditions (Nasdaq, 25 September 2025; Barchart.com, 25 September 2025; Berawang News, 25 September 2025).
