The Strait of Hormuz has become a critical pressure point for global logistics, adding new uncertainty to already strained trade routes. While coffee production remains strong in many regions, moving the product across the world is becoming more complex and costly.
Delays, longer shipping routes (including disruptions linked to Suez and the Red Sea), rising energy costs, and climate volatility are reshaping how the coffee industry operates. The result is not a shortage of beans, but a challenge in getting them where they need to be-on time and at sustainable costs.
In response, companies are rethinking sourcing strategies, diversifying origins, building stronger inventories, and prioritizing resilience over pure efficiency. The global coffee map is changing-one route at a time. ☕📦
