In the second quarter, world coffee prices experienced a significant surge of approximately 20%, with robusta coffee futures in London jumping by 18.1% to a record high of $4394 per ton and Arabica coffee futures increasing by 20.6%. This price hike is primarily due to an extreme heatwave hitting the key coffee-growing regions in Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines, where temperatures reached a severe 48°C (118.4°F) in Vietnam.
