Getting caffeinated is going to get costlier.
The J.M. Smucker Co. just bumped up the price of most Folgers, Dunkin’ Donuts, Millstone and Folger Gourmet Selections coffees that are sold retail IN THE U.S., according to reuters
The approximate nine percent hike is due to ongoing increases in the cost of green coffee beans.
The price increase will be immediate.
Prices for the aforementioned coffee brands had already been jacked up by an average of four percent in May by Smuckers.
Arabica coffee futures started a steep climb back in June. IN the past eight weeks, the market has increased nearly 35 percent.
Washed Arabica beans, the top quality coffee usually used in brewed coffee, are in tight supply right now, Reuters reports.
Prices for robusta beans, usually processed into inexpensive instant coffee or used in part of a brewed blend as a money saver, are also on the rise. Which means that consumers will soon be shelling out more cash for that cuppa joe
i for one think that is soooooooooooooooooooo un believeable that maybe pigs can fly now. i mean think about it 35% is a big rise when your talking about paying for something. i think that when you pay for something you should enjoy paying for it like when you buy a new coache purse or something expensive you want to get a lot of wear out of it but its a cup of coffee!! That is just not fair to like anyone at all. I think that instead of imp[orting so mech coffee we should start growing more of our own coffee so then we wouldn’t have to import as much which would intern lower the prices of coffee in the united states but it would probably grown up north but come on what do they ever provide anyone else with?
