The recent rally in coffee prices may be the early warning sign of a collection of historic rations. If so, it is the weather and recovery demand in 2021 that will inspire.
The appearance of coffee is more distinctive during the holidays. You might be enjoying a cup right now with your favorite holiday outfit like German Stollen, Italian Panettone, or homemade biscuit. For many, coffee is more than just a tasty drink; it is absolutely necessary to start a day. This makes the demand for coffee somewhat unsustainable, but not entirely.
The pandemic has certainly had a negative impact on coffee consumption, at least on non – domestic coffee consumption, that is to say the coffee that we make ourselves at home.

Since then, coffee prices have traded on all sides between the low set in the last week of June and the high achieved in the first week of September, ultimately settling on Christmas Eve 2020 less than 10 percent off September high prices.

But if it stays dry in Brazil and a major floral event occurs, prices could deviate from normal levels, if history is any direction. Time will tell you next holiday season, or maybe long before, that cup of coffee you’re drinking with your favorite holiday court will be more expensive than it is today.
