Coffee may disappear by the year 2050

According to media reports, coffee may disappear from our daily life in the next 30 years due to the rising temperature, insect diseases, and so on.

 Rising temperature has been the main threat to coffee plantation in these reports, and lots of British coffee farmers have given up planting coffee as the number of coffee plants is decreasing and coffee trees are quite expensive now.

Companies have been urged to add investments so as to help coffee farmers to purchase new tools and plants. However, insect diseases has resulted in ever decreasing outputs in coffee beans, in which “coffee rust” ranks top among all diseases.

“Coffee rust” will turn the leaves of coffee trees from fresh green to pale brown, and fall from the trees. As a result, there will be no coffee beans without leaves.

Southeast countries like Sri Lanka, and the Philippines had been the main coffee exporters in the late 19th century, yet output of coffee beans in these countries suffered severe decrease in the next few decades.

Nowadays, more and more farmers are giving up planting Arabica and turn to crops like sugarcanes.

Currently, tropical countries including Brazil, Columbia, Vietnam and Indonesia have been the main coffee exporters.

However, even these countries may not be able to grow coffee beans due to the rising temperature of global warming by the year 2050.
