An earthquake in Colombia has caused significant disruptions to coffee exports due to landslides blocking the roads to the port of Buenaventura. This port is crucial, handling over 60% of the country's international coffee exports.

Reportedly, the landslides have affected several strategic roads, preventing trucks loaded with coffee from passing. As a result, the market could experience fluctuations in global coffee prices.
