While the price of food has risen, the drink has also been affected, and the prices of major beverage raw materials have risen to varying degrees.
The main contract coffee price calculated by the American Intercontinental Exchange has risen by more than 20% since the beginning of this year, especially the recent rise is particularly significant.
The current level has been at the highest level in the past five years, which is also largely affected by the drought in Brazil.

The epidemic in India and the local drought have pushed up the transaction price of another major drink, tea.
According to Indian media reports, in the first four months of this year, domestic tea auction prices in India have increased by 47% year-on-year, which may weaken the competitiveness of Indian tea in the international market.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations predicts that the world’s total cereal output in 2021 will increase moderately for the third consecutive year, reaching nearly 2.
821 billion tons, which is the highest level in history.
However, due to population growth, cereal consumption will also rise to a certain extent, and it is expected to reach it in 2021-2022.
A record 2.
826 billion tons.
Taking into account that there are more than 800 million tons of inventory, food security can still be guaranteed.
