Just Asking

Why is coffee so expensive right now?


Listen Later

Coffee prices are skyrocketing. Statistics Canada says the price of your morning cup of coffee is officially 41% higher than it was in Fall 2024. So what’s behind those numbers?


On this episode of Just Asking, we take all your questions about coffee production and where those costs are coming from - from supply chains to climate change. We get the facts straight from the roastmasters themselves. Nick Brown is the founder and editor of Daily Coffee News by Roast magazine. And Gavin Fridell is a Professor in Political Science and Global Development Studies at Saint Mary's University where he focuses on trade policy, supply chains and coffee production.
