The specialty coffee producer La Palma y El Tucán has halted operations due to ongoing global issues such as COVID, market fluctuations, and climate change. They expressed the need to reflect and reconnect with their roots, characterizing this pause as a new beginning. Meanwhile, Proud Mary Coffee launched a crowdfunded equity campaign to support retail expansion, raising over $200,000. Additionally, Coffee Bros. gathered over 12,000 signatures for a petition to exempt coffee from U.S. tariffs, highlighting the limitations of domestic coffee production. Lastly, Colombia incentivizes farmers to shift from coca to coffee cultivation.
"We've always embraced change. But sometimes, change demands something deeper than adaptation-it asks us to stop, reflect, and rethink our path entirely," the company wrote on Instagram.
"These tariffs were designed to boost domestic manufacturing, but coffee cannot be produced at scale in the U.S. Hawaii and Puerto Rico produce less than 1% of what Americans consume," the petition states.
