    Also because of the tariff threat on Brazil. You know, the country responsible for a bit over 1/3 of the coffee that USA imports

    There is a semi-popular opinion here in Canada that we should also be adding an export tax to goods the US has no other place to source except from Canada. The US absolutely has to buy Canadian softwood lumber for Home construction. How about a 10% export tax, have fun building expensive houses.

    And floods. Read somewhere entire coffee fields were damaged or uprooted by heavy rains.
