Coffee enthusiasts are worried about the social restrictions currently in place. Coffee farmers who used to be passionate about planting their coffee now have nothing to gain. Their sales have gone down.
The global and domestic coffee business has contracted by 50 to 90 percent this year. This has led to oversupply and stockpiling at warehouses across the region, even though the coffee production this year decreased by 35 percent compared to last year. The coffee price has nosedived, and the capacity utilization of the coffee processing business has fallen by around 35 percent. The export market is also affected, as there has been a drastic fall in demand.
