By 2050, the suitable areas for coffee cultivation in some of the highest-yielding regions will shrink significantly (S1 decreases by 48% to 97%; S2 decreases by 18% to 51%), becoming clearly unsuitable for coffee crops. The primary reason for such negative changes in Vietnam is the rise in average annual temperatures. Meanwhile, due to rising temperatures, some areas north or south of the original “coffee belt” are expected to become more suitable for coffee cultivation. These regions include the United States, Argentina, Chile, China, East Africa, India, New Zealand, South Africa, southern Brazil, and Uruguay. As coffee crops are extremely vulnerable and susceptible to climate change, the continuous rise in temperatures has become a major factor, with large cultivation areas being negatively impacted. Researchers concluded and recommended that coffee growers plant varieties that are more tolerant to high temperatures and drought, or switch to Robusta varieties instead of Arabica. Robusta is more resistant to harsh growing conditions such as high temperatures than Arabica, but Robusta tastes more bitter than Arabica.

While areas suitable for coffee cultivation may shrink in the future, new suitable regions could also emerge, possibly giving rise to new terroirs.
