Coffee prices on 07/18/2024: Continue to fluctuate

Coffee prices on July 18 globally

On the global stage, the London and New York exchanges continue to show mixed movements today, July 18.

On the London exchange, Robusta prices for September 2024 delivery slightly decreased by $ 2, settling at $ 4,570/ton. Meanwhile, the November 2024 delivery slightly increased by $ 8, reaching $ 4,400/ton.

On the New York exchange, Arabica prices for September 2024 delivery slightly decreased by 0.45 cents, down to 243.15 cents/lb. The December 2024 delivery also decreased by 0.35 cents, reaching 241.45 cents/lb.

Global coffee prices continue to show slight fluctuations. According to experts, the decrease in Arabica prices on the New York exchange has led to a drop in the London exchange. However, the slight increase in November Robusta prices indicates that concerns about market supply in the medium term are still present.

According to VITIC, droughts affecting coffee harvests and ongoing conflicts in the Red Sea have driven up global coffee prices, also impacting coffee deliveries to Europe. New regulations on coffee production and deforestation are making a cup of coffee more expensive.

The newly adopted EU deforestation regulations could soon lead to thousands of tons of coffee exports to the EU being rejected, as they are produced on newly deforested land.

Additionally, the shortage of Arabica due to climate change is expected to increase demand for Robusta, as roasters will need to diversify their products.

The World Coffee Research Organization warns that the world could face a shortage of up to 35 million bags (60 kg/bag) of Robusta by 2040.

The organization explains that although Robusta is more resilient to climate change and pests than Arabica, it is not immune, especially to highly destructive diseases and extreme weather patterns. Furthermore, many Robusta plantations have not received adequate investment in care and breeding improvements for a long time, posing challenges to production.

Thus, global coffee prices on 07/18/2024, show mixed changes compared to yesterday.
