Coffee Skyrockets as Weather Affects Crops
Oh No! Doom for me!

Coffee skyrockets as weather affects crops



The price of coffee is skyrocketing on speculation that Colombia’s harvest will be smaller than expected for the fourth straight year.

Coffee for December delivery jumped 10.6 cents, or 6.5 percent, to finish at $1.7365 per pound. That’s the highest level since early August.

Although Brazil’s coffee crop appears headed toward a robust harvest, Colombia’s crop was hampered by heavy rainfall that caused delays earlier in the season. Colombia could produce a smaller-than-expected crop for the fourth consecutive year, Barclays Capital analysts said in a report on Friday.

Re: Coffee Skyrockets as Weather Affects Crops
Colombia coffee exports at risk, due to red spider mites

Who knew that little critters no bigger than a thumbtack could wreak so much havoc?

Reuters tells the worrisome story of Colombian farmer Jairo Morales. He’s devastated because his coffee trees are speckled with crimson as tiny red spider mites attack his plantation. This chaos is not only threatening his livelihood, but also the output of the world’s No. 3 coffee growing country.

The mites cling to the leaves of coffee plants and gradually turn them reddish until they wither and die.

The news agency says the threat comes at a time when Colombia is struggling to increase annual coffee output to 11 million 60-kg sacks, the country’s long-term average.

The tiny creatures have always been a menace to coffee crops in the country, but other predator insects have usually kept them at bay.

“This has been a surprise. I’d never seen anything like this in the many years that I’ve been growing coffee. I often see small areas by the side of the road, but never an attack like this,” Morales told Reuters.

Red spider mites have reportedly attacked many plantations in Caldas, the No. 4 coffee producing region in Colombia. This area contributes about 10 percent to the country’s total coffee output.

The spider mite may have developed an immunity to the chemicals used in the insecticide:

Coffee connoisseurs probably know that Colombia is responsible for putting this morning drink on the tables of many people worldwide.

However, it now seems that one of the most important regions where this plant is grown is being threatened by a red spider plague.

Doubtful it was weather. More like the federal reserve's monetary policies causing insane ramps in the cost of ALL commodities. Better wake up soon sheep and realize the real reason for these price increases.

I drink a whole pot with my morning cigarettes. Its only after that first pot I start to think about getting motivated for my day lol.

You gotta be careful when preserving it in air tight bags. cos, whole beans can release a gas and pop the bag... thats why in the stores it has that lil valve with the holes in it on the bag.

The gas is mostly released the days after roasting... but the gas can be released weeks after roasting etc...

but once it is ground you need not worry.

I just let mine stay on the shelf... I got a bag I am saving for a special occasion... yeah some people open a bottle of wine for a special event... I brew coffee haha
