Nestle announced on Thursday environmental restoration projects in partnership with reforestation startup re.green and chocolatier Barry Callebaut in Brazil, seeking to plant millions of trees in areas where it sources key ingredients.

President Donald Trump has pledged a 50% tariff against Brazil, a major producer of green coffee beans. That could lead to higher coffee prices.

Coffee prices surged 12.7% in June compared to a year earlier, according to inflation data. Tariffs could drive the cost of your morning cup even higher.

Brazil, already the world’s top coffee producer, could increase exports to South Africa if it offers better quality and prices.
