. Around the world, coffee is grown by about 25 million farmworkers on about 27 million acres of land. That's more than seven percent of Earth's surface! Just in Brazil, the world's largest coffee grower, almost 6.2 billion pounds of coffee are grown each year. In Việt Nam, coffee exports reached approximately 1.78 million tonnes in 2022 alone. Every year, people drink more than 500 billion cups. Businesses in the United States spend about $5.5 billion to bring coffee into the country, and make more than $12 billion by selling it. Coffee is big business. Unfortunately, climate change could be a big threat to this business and the people who depend on it. To grow good coffee, the weather must be just right. If it is too hot or too cold, or if there is too much or too little rain, the plants might die or the coffee beans might be of poor quality. Climate change is making the world hotter and changing where and how much rain falls.
