Expected global suitability of coffee, cashew and avocado due to climate change

Full article. Archive

From the abstract:

We found shifts in suitable growing regions due to climate change with both regions of future expansion and contraction for all crops investigated. Coffee proved to be most vulnerable, with negative climate impacts dominating in all main producing regions. For both cashew and avocado, areas suitable for cultivation are expected to expand globally while in most main producing countries, the areas of highest suitability may decrease. The study reveals that climate change adaptation will be necessary in most major producing regions of all three crops. At high latitudes and high altitudes, however, they may all profit from increasing minimum temperatures

Tables 3-5 seem to be the best quick summary for potential changes in suitable land overall and by relevant nations per crop:
