He later shared with The Daily Telegraph that the US dollar weakness and a delayed coffee harvest in Vietnam is also attributed to the increased challenges [6].


The CEO later shared that their costs for Arabica beans recently topped $3.44 USD ($5.55 AUD) a pound (0.45kg)[7]. He was also featured on The Today Show discussing these matters [8].
