Each figure is the average over a whole month, published weeks or months after the month ends. It shows the trend, not the price on any one day, and it is never a live price.

What it is

Arabica is the main coffee bean type, used for most café and filter coffee (the other type, Robusta, goes mostly into instant coffee and blends). This is the price of green, unroasted beans, as averaged by the International Coffee Organization, an intergovernmental body.

The units

US dollars per kilo of green (unroasted) beans. Roasting removes water, so a kilo of green beans makes a little over 800 grams of roasted coffee.

What moves the price

Harvests in Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam and Central America, frost and drought, plant diseases, shipping costs, stock levels, and the Brazilian real against the dollar.

Why it matters for everyday prices

Raw beans are only a small part of a café coffee's price, which is mostly rent, wages and milk. Supermarket coffee reacts more, usually with a delay of several months.
