Theft of truck loads of green coffee beans is surging in the United States, the world's largest importer of the commodity, as prices for the beans increased to all-time highs in the last year, according to transportation companies.

Coffee thefts have surged across the U.S., driven by rising prices and demand for the commodity. The trend is creating instability in the global coffee market, leading to potential volatility in both supply and prices.

Your next cup of coffee could be hotter than you think. Organized criminals in the United States, Brazil, and Viet Nam are stealing coffee beans by the truckload, reports Reuters. The price of green coffee beans has shot up to an all-time high due to floods and droughts in major coffee-growing areas like Brazil.
