India's coffee-growing areas are witnessing extensive summer rains, providing some relief after a tough year of excessive rain and drought. But the coffee sector continues to face major challenges from uncertain weather patterns. The 2024-25 season witnessed extensive damage from heavy rains, resulting in berry droppings and fungal infections, which may lead to a significant reduction in coffee production. Though recent rains may stabilize soil moisture, the overall impact on coffee yields is indeterminate. The Coffee Board of India has been working to help farmers adapt to climate change through green ways like the upkeep of shade cover. In spite of all this, prices of coffee are expected to be higher in 2025 due to ongoing environmental problems. Source: The Hindu, Coffee Board of India
