Production in the area has shrunk by 35% in the last five years, according to the Latin American and Caribbean Fairtrade Network (CLAC).
farmers in the South American country’s Sierra Nevada mountain range say warming temperatures are forcing them to plant their crops on higher ground, while increasingly unpredictable rainfall cycles are affecting growth and harvesting logistics.
One Sierra Nevada farmer, Javier Ardila, 44, said coffee workers would wear coats in the afternoons 30 years ago but now temperatures reach around 28C. Soaring fertiliser and higher labour costs also mean many are struggling to cover the cost of production this year. Farmers also say young people in the area are moving away to find easier work, meaning the future of their way of life is even more uncertain.
