Wholesale suppliers informed retail stores about the increase in the cost of products from March 1. They justify this by the lack of raw materials on the markets and a significant increase in prices for the main types of coffee – Arabica and robusta on world stock exchanges.

According to one of the newspaper's sources, the increase in selling prices from March 1 will be only the first stage of the increase this year.
In 2024, global prices for coffee beans increased by almost 70%. Since the beginning of the year, they have grown by another 15%. According to experts, retail prices in Russia are growing at a more moderate pace, due to a decrease in business margins.
