Climate Change Threatens Coffee Production Amid Global Weather Instabilities
Global · Published Sep 8, 2026
Nestlé has highlighted the growing risks to coffee production due to climate change and extreme weather patterns, which are causing significant instability in tropical crop yields.
The company is implementing its Nescafé Plan 2030 to ensure coffee sustainability and supply stability.

Impact & Risks

The impact of climate change on coffee production is significant, as coffee plants are highly sensitive to changes in rainfall and temperature. Farmers in major coffee-producing regions such as Brazil, Vietnam, and Ethiopia face challenges in maintaining stable yields due to extreme weather events. Older coffee trees are particularly vulnerable, leading to reduced productivity and income for farmers. This could result in higher coffee prices for consumers and potential disruptions in supply chains for major brands like Nescafé.
