Coffee exports from Colombia have been nearly halted following a severe earthquake in the country. This information comes from a report by Bloomberg, which relies on insights from Gustavo Gómez, the head of the National Coffee Export Association (Asoexport).

Gómez confirmed that export activities are significantly restricted. The precise extent of the impact on coffee production and international supply chains is still unclear at this time.
