Our thoughts are with the people of Colombia, following yesterday’s devastating earthquake.
The earthquake affected important coffee-growing and logistics regions. Roads, bridges, tunnels, mills and port facilities are slowly being assessed, and some transportation and shipping operations have already been suspended or limited.
Colombia’s coffee supply chain was already tight, and these disruptions will likely create additional delays in moving coffee to port and scheduling shipments. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share updates as we learn more. In the meantime, please contact your trader with any immediate questions or concerns about your Colombian coffee needs.
As the full impact of the earthquake becomes clearer, our thoughts remain with our colleagues, partners and producers, as well as affected communities across Colombia.
