THE BENNETTS MONTHLY MARCH '26

All Things Bennetts and Coffee...
| With the arrival of March, we farewell Summer. Looking back on the last few months, Australia experienced turbulent weather with widespread heat waves followed by a sharp shift to heavy rainfall – with record breaking temperatures, inland rain and flooding - Oh my! Meanwhile, overseas, our producing partners also faced slightly warmer than usual conditions, with some regions experiencing heavy rain and flooding , particularly in parts of East Africa, while others saw shifting storm and rainfall patterns as the global climate moved from La Niña toward more neutral conditions. For coffee-growing regions, this mix of heat and rainfall variability can place pressure on crops, affecting flowering, bean development and harvest timing. Such instability increases uncertainty around yields, quality and overall supply in the months ahead. Stay tuned to our monthly newsletter and origin reports to keep up to date with industry news!
For the past six years, Roast Summit has been a leading educational event for roasters featuring insightful discussions, workshops and networking with coffee industry leaders in the USA and Australia. This year, Bennetts will be sponsoring the Melbourne event – to be held at Aunty Peg’s in Collingwood, on the 24th and 25th of March.
