The incident shortened vast shipments of Crude oil and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), also a big number of containers of Robusta Coffee, the type used in Nescafe. Europe is one of the major that got affected more than the others. Suez Canal is the gateway to Europe’s import business. The bang will be felt globally as the shipping delays intensify a shortage of containers that turn over food markets.

Detaching this enormous ton vessel, could take days or even weeks, and deadlock around the pathway of the canal has already got doubled. Ever Given supplies all types of trade goods between Asia and Europe. This giant ship overloaded with oil containers disrupted the whole traffic in a short time.

The continent’s Coffee roasters are already been struggling to get coffee from Vietnam, the world's largest Robusta producer, due to a scarcity of shipping containers. Canal blockage brought another annoyance just when the availability of boxes started improving.

The interlude in supply led to a 2.8 percent spate in Robusta coffee futures. Any delay in the removal of disruptions on the delivery of goods might push Coffee futures even higher. Suez Canal is used for major 12 trades.

As a result, traders clarified demand for Robusta beans from Uganda or the milder-tasting Arabica beans from other East African nations. Those beans are also transporting through the Suez pathway.
Whoever contains the storage of beans in European warehouses is charging a hefty premium in the market. At the delicate time of container squeeze, traders were demanding up to 450 USD, three times the normal.
