Drought in Brazil, bugs attacking plants in Guatamala ( what kind of bugs, admin ), coffee borers attacing 90 % of plants in Hawaii and just heard grower on the Weather Channel say that there's no time to pick 2nd Kona coffee crop which is on the plants and when the hurricane hits, the crop will be a total loss.

If you like Kona coffee, better stock up now.

Story is from 2013 but it gives a good idea what growers are up against.
