Using farm-level information gathered from 202 smallholder farmers in Ethiopia, we estimated how high temperatures impacted stages of coffee production and quantified smallholders' resulting production costs, assessing farmers' capability to adapt based on profitability and real costs. Limitations in farmers' economic capacity to increase short-term productivity suggest that a 35-cent price premium may compensate for the extra costs borne by farmers due to higher temperatures. Well-grounded climate information and real cost assessments support the effective transition toward sustainable farming systems for smallholders and the environment.
