Italian coffee company Lavazza says coffee prices are not expected to ease for at least the next two years, citing ongoing “exceptional volatility” in the sector. The company points to sharp rises in the cost of Arabica coffee, saying prices have increased by about 230% since 2021. Lavazza’s comments frame the current market situation as prolonged rather than short-lived, suggesting the industry faces continued cost pressure for producers and retailers. The reporting highlights that despite any temporary fluctuations, the broader trend has been upward and remains unstable. Both outlets present the same core message from Lavazza: that conditions driving price swings have persisted and are likely to continue affecting supply and pricing in the near term. The statements do not provide specific details on individual drivers such as weather, logistics, or trade policy, but they emphasize that volatility remains elevated and that any relief for consumers or businesses is unlikely in the immediate future.
