Starbucks is investing in two innovation farms in Central America to safeguard its coffee supply against climate change, focusing on hybrid coffee varieties and the use of automation technologies. The new farms in Costa Rica and Guatemala will complement Starbucks’ existing farm in Costa Rica and support research for climate-resilient coffee. As coffee production is increasingly threatened by rising temperatures and drought, Starbucks aims to enhance its supply chain while addressing global demand, with plans for further investments in Africa and Asia to develop tailored solutions for different growing regions.
