The impact of global climate events on coffee production

In recent years, extreme weather events—torrential rains, prolonged droughts, and hurricanes—have been on the rise, affecting many coffee-producing regions. From Brazil, the world's leading exporter, to Nicaragua, home of Finca Renacer, no region has been spared. Understanding these challenges is essential for roasters seeking a stable, high-quality supply.

The challenges of climate change

• Production instability : Harvests can drop due to unpredictable weather, creating potential stock shortages.

  
  

• Variation in quality : Plants stressed by heat or lack of water can produce less consistent berries, affecting the flavor profile. Conversely, excessive rain can cause cherries to fall to the ground (unripe or pitted by brocca), rendering them unusable.

  
  

• Shifting growing areas : Some historically favorable regions may no longer be viable in the long term, forcing farmers to migrate to higher altitudes.

How is Fincafé adapting?

At Finca Renacer, we implement sustainable farming practices and rigorous water management. We also select more resilient varieties. Thanks to this approach, we ensure our roasters a constant flow of beans despite the vagaries of the weather.

Why are these measures important for roasters?

A reliable supply remains key to maintaining quality roasting. Partnering with Fincafé means supporting environmentally friendly agriculture and protecting ourselves as much as possible against the impact of extreme weather events.
