コモディティーコーヒー

By Cafesba , 4 October 2025

After the coffee crisis of 1989, commodity coffee prices became a kind of financial product, leading to price instability. Furthermore, under the Doi Moi policy implemented in 1986, the emerging Robusta coffee producer Vietnam rapidly increased its supply through national policy, threatening even Brazil, the leading coffee-producing country. This led to a decline in export prices from Latin America and Africa.
When prices fell, farmers in coffee-producing countries were unable to sell their coffee, even if they lowered the price, and their incomes fell.
