🚨 C-Market Stays Above 400 – The Real Impact on Coffee Businesses
The C-Market has been consistently above 400, but it’s not all good news for farmers.
🚨 What we’re hearing from multiple stakeholders worldwide:
Smallholder producers are being pressured to sell at lower prices by traders, exporters, and large corporations.
Theft is rising at farm level, happening in broad daylight and under cover of darkness. Farmers are selling immediately to avoid endangering their families.
Roasters & traders feeling crazy? If people around you are saying, “Chill bro, everything’s fine” – they’re wrong. The time to convince people has passed. Now is the time to protect your business.
