ICO economic report: Life after COVID-19 (Global Coffee Review) 

June 27, 2020


Global Coffee Review published an article on why coronavirus has shocked the supply chain, how to build market resilience, and the next steps to recovery. A recently published report, Volatile coffee prices: Covid-19 and market fundamentals from the ICO and IFPRI has attributed the increased volatility to significant disruptions in the coffee supply chain, at least in the first months of the pandemic, as well as the impact on coffee consumption caused by the global spread of the virus. The next actions of ICO and IFPRI are to carry out surveys and additional analysis.
