Group 2: Market Challenges - The coffee processing trade is facing significant pressure, with farmers and processing plants raising prices while buyers are reluctant to increase their purchase prices, leading to a squeezed margin for traders [3][4]. - The market is characterized by a rapid turnover of transactions, with companies needing to adapt quickly to fluctuating prices, often resulting in losses on contracts due to rising costs [5][6][16]. - The domestic demand for coffee has outstripped supply, leading to a reduction in exports and a shift in focus towards local consumption, which has further exacerbated price increases [12][13].
