How do climate change, import tariffs, and fluctuating demand interact to affect coffee prices and market stability?

Brazil and Vietnam, together producing half the world's coffee, have been significantly impacted by climate change, leading to lower supply. High import tariffs imposed by the US on Vietnamese coffee (up to 46%) further destabilize the market. Increased demand, although inelastic (consumers continue purchasing regardless of price), also contributes to higher prices.
