Hi Jose
Sabes de diferenciales pagados FOB para cafes de Hue Hue. Igualmente, cuanto se paga el quintal pergamino seco en fincas en esa zona durante esta semana.

Hello Andres,
Huehuetenango coffee is still a month delayed for harvesting, differentials are up to +0.60. Right now we're handling the Extra-Prime markets here in Guatemala, dry prices placed in the fincas is around US$1.73 per lb. which brings it around $2.30 in green.
Saludos!

I posted something like this a few months back and got negative replies.....quite frankly its outrageous whats happening and it will truly affect specialty coffee indefinitely. Not only coffee...sugar, oil....etc etc. This doesn't do anything for the growers/farmers- it will affect them as well. I would gladly take some educated answers that state whats "truly" driving these prices up up and UP!

From what I've understood, there's been plenty of bad crops all around the world during the last few years.
Robert Thoresen (namedrop, he's the first wbc-champion) told that the climate change is partly effecting the harvest seasons. The trend of bad crops is certainly on of the reasons affecting the price increases at both the specialty grade and the commercial grade of coffee.
Especially during these bad crop years, I'm more than happy to pay some extra for my coffee because the growers truly need and deserve it. I know our customers won't mind paying little more either even if the didn't know the rise in the cost of coffee.

I'm really glad to read this conversation is picking up and that there is starting to be a new awareness on the subject. High prices have continued to surge since the date I posted this conversation, and to perpetuate our worries I will go ahead and say that coffee price speculation is aiming to close February and start March at $2.70; if the trend continues we'll see prices of $3.00 by May. Hope its not the case but the trend in coffee contracts and the internal market conditions of each producing country are sure setting us on that path.
What's going to happen on the Specialty Coffees is that we'll just have to work harder to find them and get them, since there will be less available. I've been to the coffee plantations all around Guatemala these past months for the harvest and have seen how specialty coffee producers are starting to give away on quality and sell at the high prices the market is paying. Their rationale behind it that "why produce better coffee that costs higher, when they can get payed the same (and faster) if they sell their coffee without any quality control whatsoever." It is completely worrisome since I've seen how great coffees have been lost in a sea of the "not good enough". It's been hard to keep producers, specially small and associated producers, on the focus of quality and long term relationships. However there are few that remain honorable and true to coffee purity and direct trade. Hope many of them start to realize this as coffee prices stumble again in the next market cycle some years from now.
In the mean time, lets continue to push quality, most of our customers will understand as many of you have stated here.

Its going steady, I think we're going to be seeing those $300 soon!
Ridiculous, I believe, is the right word to use.
