Indian Arabica coffee for Italian roasters
The global coffee industry is at a critical crossroads. After years of supply challenges, experts say it could take at least two strong harvests to stabilize global stock levels. For importers and roasters in Italy—where high-quality Arabica is prized—this means new strategies are essential.
Global Shortage: The Real Picture
According to recent reports from Brazil and the International Coffee Organization (ICO), global inventories are at historic lows. Climate shocks in Brazil, rising input costs, and slow recovery in key origins like Colombia have led to tight supply.
What This Means for Italian Buyers
Italy’s espresso culture demands consistent quality, medium to dark roasts, and predictable pricing. But with C-market volatility and origin instability, relying solely on traditional suppliers like Central America or Ethiopia is becoming riskier.
✅ Importers should:
- Lock in contracts earlier to hedge against price spikes.
- Diversify sourcing to include stable origins like India, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
- Consider direct trade relationships for better traceability and control.

Looking Ahead: Relief by 2028?
