Coffee Weekly 16/3/17
​As much as there may be increased optimism about the economy, consumers are still being extremely cautious about their spending and leery of something suddenly shifting. This mindset is not limited to the United States and certainly times are still tough in much of Latin America. Consumers are not going out as much as they were or spending as freely or allocating their salaries differently to make ends meet. I have to believe this is keeping coffeeusage from growing nearly as much as before and has helped to also prevent the production shortfall from being nearly as large as it otherwise would have been. This has little to do with a reaction to high prices that are necessary to curb demand, but more a symptom of the general economic times we are living in and it impacts spending across the board and not just on coffee.
