Türkiye is on the brink of becoming a new coffee-growing hotspot as climate change shifts conditions in its favor. Experts suggest that regions like the Eastern Black Sea and Çukurova may soon provide the ideal environment for coffee cultivation. This change comes as traditional coffee-producing countries face serious challenges due to climate issues.
• Climate change is creating warmer, more stable conditions in parts of Türkiye.
• Regions like the Eastern Black Sea and Çukurova may soon support coffee plantations.
• Major coffee producers are experiencing threats from rising temperatures and erratic weather.
• By 2025, coffee-growing areas in key countries could shrink by 50%, pushing production to new regions.
This potential shift in coffee cultivation is significant. As traditional producers struggle, Türkiye could step in to fill the gap. Sustainable practices will be crucial to ensure that coffee farming can thrive without harming the environment. The future of coffee may depend on adapting to these new realities.
