Coffee pricing is a complex and evolving issue, as highlighted in our most recent CAC webinar. Thank you to our expert panelists Ana Wilks, Tyler Baks and Fabian Calderon, Coope Terrazu, for sharing their insights. Panelists emphasized the resilience and beauty of the coffee business, despite challenges like climate change and rising costs. Thanks to greater transparency and stronger connections with producing countries, the coffee industry is better equipped to navigate these shifts. While pricing increases may be on the horizon to address these realities, coffee remains a daily essential for many. Historically, consumers have shown remarkable consistency in their coffee habits, even amid changing market dynamics, which offers optimism for the road ahead. Let's hold tight to this incredible industry and work together to ensure its sustainability and growth. CAC Members can view the January webinar recording on the Member Portal. Registration will be opening soon for our February 20th webinar, "Brewing Concerns: Tariff Effects on Canadian Business". #coffee #coffeeindustry #pricing #sustainability #transparency #resilience

For the first time in history, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the US has formally included coffee in its definition of a ‘healthy’ food. According to the new regulation, water, tea, and coffee with less than 5 calories per serving automatically qualifies as "healthy". “At a time when consumers – especially younger consumers – are increasingly health-conscious, this designation has the potential to drive consumption, and put to final rest previous misguided efforts to portray coffee as unhealthy,” William Murray, President & CEO of the National Coffee Association USA said in a statement. #coffee #health https://lnkd.in/gKgqe5NP

Congratulations to the National Coffee Association USA and their president & CEO, William Murray on this important achievement! The FDA's decision to officially recognize coffee as a "healthy" food marks a monumental step for the coffee industry, backed by rigorous scientific evidence. This recognition underscores coffee’s unique health benefits and represents a significant win for the industry and coffee lovers everywhere. #coffee #health
