4. Still the #2 import behind oil |
|
There is an over supply with new players in the world market. Prices are dropping. But I don't see that at the store.

6. Uh, this has nothing to do with our consumption |
|
This has to do with poor harvests. That means the price for a cup of mud is going to go up, probably considerably, at least 10%.
Just hope it's not due to permanently changed weather patterns from climate change or you're going to find something else to wake you up in the morning.

8. I saw some harvest numbers but didn't really go too deep in it. |
|
The harvest numbers mostly weren't as low as the production numbers, I did see that much.

Just wondering what percentage of our coffee consumption is Starbucks related.
Their significant downturn may explain this.
