Price survey of coffee beans per pound: understand the general market price of green beans

Background

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and coffee beans are an important raw material for making coffee. As people's requirements for coffee quality become higher and higher, their attention to the price of coffee beans is also increasing. This article will focus on the price of one kilogram of coffee beans and understand the general market price of raw beans.

Market analysis

Currently, the global market price of green beans is characterized by diversity and volatility. This is mainly affected by the following factors:

1. Varieties: Different varieties of coffee beans have different positions and demands in the market. For example, Arabica and Robusta are two common mainstream varieties, and their prices are relatively high, while some other minor varieties are relatively cheap.

2. Origin: Coffee beans from different origins have unique flavors and tastes, and have different levels of recognition in the market. For example, traditional origins such as Brazil and Colombia usually have higher prices, while emerging origins such as Vietnam and India are relatively cheaper.

3. Quality: The quality of coffee beans is one of the important factors affecting the price. High-quality coffee beans usually have a higher market value, while low-quality or inferior coffee beans have a relatively low price.

Market research results

Through our investigation of the green bean market, we learned the following:

1. The general market price of raw beans fluctuates between 30-100 yuan per pound. This range covers the differences caused by factors such as different varieties, origins and quality.

2. High-end special coffee beans (such as those from rare origins, carefully hand-picked, etc.) may cost more than 100 yuan per kilogram, while ordinary commercial coffee beans may cost less than 30 yuan per kilogram.

3. In the international market, due to factors such as exchange rates and transportation costs, coffee beans of the same variety and origin may have certain differences in different countries or regions.

Analysis of the causes of price fluctuations

The fluctuation of green bean prices is mainly affected by the following factors:

1. Seasonal factors: The growth and harvest of coffee beans are seasonal, and changes in supply in different seasons will directly affect the price. For example, in the harvest season, the market supply is sufficient and the price is relatively low; in the non-harvest season, the supply is tight and the price will rise.

2. Weather factors: Weather has a significant impact on the growth and quality of coffee beans. Extreme weather conditions such as natural disasters, droughts or floods may lead to reduced production or reduced quality, thereby pushing up the market price of coffee beans.

3. Market demand: The increase in coffee consumption and the demand for high-quality coffee worldwide will drive up market prices. At the same time, in some special periods (such as Christmas) or regions (such as Europe and the United States), the concentrated release of consumer demand may also cause short-term price fluctuations.

Future Trend Outlook

Based on the current market situation and analysis of related factors, we can predict that the green bean market price will show the following trends in the coming period:

1. The continuous increase in coffee consumption will drive up market prices. With the popularity of coffee culture around the world and people's pursuit of quality, the demand for high-quality coffee beans will continue to increase.

2. Climate change may affect production areas and production, leading to price fluctuations. Abnormal climate events (such as droughts, floods, etc.) may lead to a reduction in supply or a decline in quality in some production areas, thereby pushing up market prices.

3. The international economic situation and exchange rate fluctuations will also have a certain impact on the price of green beans. Changes in international currency exchange rates, transportation costs and other factors may cause price fluctuations.

in conclusion

Through the above investigation and analysis, we can conclude that the general market price of green beans is between 30-100 yuan/catties, and is affected by many factors. In the future, with the increase in coffee consumption, climate change, and the international economic situation, the market price of green beans is expected to show an upward trend.
