Despite coffee being one of the most traded commodities in the world, the specialty coffee sector remains notoriously difficult to study. Data is fragmented, pricing is often opaque, and access to real-time or historical transaction-level information is extremely limited. For academic researchers analyzing global trade dynamics, sustainability, producer income, or market structures, this lack of transparency creates roadblocks to meaningful insights and evidence-based conclusions.
