U.S. coffee processors are reporting cost increases, driven by supply chain issues, and expect to raise retail prices soon, according to a Fox Business report.

Transportation backlogs drove coffee prices to their highest in more than a year last week.

An increase in consumers shopping online and extra safety procedures caused by the pandemic have boosted demand for shipping services.

Imbalances in the flow of containers caused by the pandemic have also contributed to cost increases.
