Coffee is the world’s most important tropical export crop. However, recent studies predict severe climate change impacts on Coffea arabica. Climate change has emerged in recent years as one of the most critical topics. Global and regional climate change impacts analysis shows that the impacts of climate change on climate suitability of Arabica coffee would be very variable at both the national and global levels. The global areas growing Arabica coffee divided into Mesoamerica, South America, Africa and Asia-Pacific. The geographically differentiated impacts of climate change may alter the relative importance of coffee from different countries in the global market. Moderate climate change will increase the area suitable for Robusta coffee cultivation across the globe, but decrease it for Arabica. The key cause of the climate change is the burning of coal, oil, natural gas and mineralization of organic matter. The global dimension and scale of climate change with its pronounced variation of impacts on Arabica producer countries at regional, continental, and global scales. Climate change will have different impacts and producers will have different vulnerabilities at small scales in the mountains where Arabica coffee grown in some countries, such as in Mesoamerica, will lose competitiveness on global markets for quality coffee. They have to diversify into other products to prevent adverse effects on their rural economies generally, further research have to focus on discovering climate change adaptation strategies feasible for smallholder producers for practically implement. |
