Statistics Canada: Canadians paid 20.3% more for coffee in 2025. Why prices spiked
Latest news on WhatsApp أجدد الأخبار على واتسابCanada’s official annual inflation review shows Canadians paid 20.3% more for coffee in 2025 on an annual average basis. The agency pointed to adverse weather in growing regions and tariff-related pressures tied to U.S. measures affecting producing countries.
Those annual figures align with sharper month-to-month comparisons highlighted in a Global News explainer updated on February 3, 2026. Coffee prices rose about 31% in December 2025 versus December 2024, compared with a 5% increase for store-bought food and a 2.4% rise in overall CPI over the same period.
At retail, the average price of roasted or ground coffee was $9.35 per 340 grams in December 2025, up from $7.12 in December 2024.
Global News linked the gap to climate-driven supply shocks (drought, yield declines and crop disease), plus trade-policy and logistics volatility that pushed higher costs through the supply chain and onto shelves. The report also noted that improved conditions in major producing regions could help stabilise prices after the next harvest cycle, though that depends on weather and supply-chain dynamics.
