Video: What's driving record prices in the global coffee market?
What is the coffee futures market and what's driving record prices?
With coffee prices reaching historic highs, the specialty coffee movement is confronting an unprecedented future. In this pertinent discussion, Nick Mabey (Assembly) and Sam MacCuaig (Keynote Coffee) unpack:
- What is the coffee futures market?
- What's driving record prices?
- What does this mean for roasters?
- What does this mean for cafes?
Our thanks to Sam for his valuable time and an insightful conversation. Keynote Coffee is a UK-based subsidiary company of ECOM Agroindustrial Corp - a global commodity trading company based in Switzerland and specialising in coffee, cocoa and cotton.
Keynote recently facilitated our purchase of coffee from the Tumaini Smallholder Cooperative in DR Congo. The premiums we paid for DR Congo — TCC Drying Bed Project have directly funded new processing infrastructure for the Cooperative and this process wouldn't have been possible without Keynote's input.
