     “According to a recent UN FAO report, up to 80% of #coffee price rises will trickle down to EU consumers over 11 months, while 80% of them will feed through to US consumers over the next 8 months … the residual impacts of price rises will last for four years, indicating that further hikes could be on the horizon”
