It’s World Day for one of the most consumed drinks in the world, coffee. It remains the best ally to start the day well. This Sunday, October 6, the Museum of Decorative Arts of the Indian Ocean (MADOI) is organizing its traditional Coffee Festival at the Domaine de Maison Rouge in Saint-Louis.
One of the most popular products continues to see its price increase, up to a 20% increase in world prices. It is Robusta coffee which records the largest increase with + 53% in 2023. Inflation justified by maritime transport, speculative funds, but also caused by global warming.
It remains one of the most consumed drinks in the world.
