If coffee and bananas were to run out simultaneously,
it would signal a major collapse in global agricultural supply chains, likely driven by climate change and disease, resulting in significant economic disruption, lifestyle changes, and the loss of two of the world's most traded and beloved commodities.
YouTube +3 The Agricultural Crisis (Why They Might Run Out)
Coffee: Up to 60% of wild coffee species are threatened with extinction. By 2050, climate change, deforestation, and pests could reduce the land suitable for coffee farming by 50%.
Bananas: The world's primary banana export, the Cavendish, is threatened by a fungus known as Tropical Race 4 (TR4), prompting fears of a "banana pandemic".
Impact: Prices for these commodities are already rising due to extreme weather, droughts, and reduced supply.
