2022 Risks Across Cocoa, Sugar, and Coffee: Global Growing Conditions and Climate

Crops like cocoa, coffee, and sugar where global production is concentrated in a few small regions are increasingly being affected by changes in climate and weather. West Africa’s cocoa belt is experiencing greater bouts of dry weather and potentially faces long-term displacement. Similarly, coffee-growing areas of Brazil have seen increased rainfall variability. Recent droughts have driven significant inflation for food producers in the US, and future planning and sourcing decisions must consider the impact presented by climate change.

Join us Thursday, May 19, 10-11 AM EST as we evaluate growing conditions for the major soft commodities in 2022, and the implications for prices and availability for this year and beyond using the Gro Intelligence Climate Risk Navigator for Agriculture and the Gro Drought Index.
