UN Comtrade's HS 0901 heading covers green and roasted coffee but not instant coffee, which is why Brazil's Comtrade value is below the Cecafe total. Vietnam and Ethiopia have not reported 2024 or 2025 data to UN Comtrade, and Honduras has not yet reported 2025, so the table cannot rank them; Vietnam's own statistics office puts its 2025 exports at US$8,923.7 million.

Which countries import the most coffee?

Europe and the United States buy most of the green coffee that producing countries ship. Some importers, such as Switzerland, roast it and export it again.

Methodology

Country production, consumption, export and import figures come mainly from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service's Coffee: World Markets and Trade circular (July 2026) and its PSD Online database. The USDA reports in thousands of 60-kilogram bags of green coffee. Each producing country uses its own marketing year (July to June for Brazil, October to September for Vietnam, Colombia and Ethiopia, April to March for Indonesia and Peru), and importing countries use October to September. Roasted and instant coffee are converted to green bean equivalent at 1.19 and 2.6. The USDA counts the European Union as one market.

The International Coffee Organization (ICO) uses the coffee year, October to September, and publishes its own estimates, so its figures for the same country differ from the USDA's. World totals, regional figures and export data come from its Coffee Market Reports for August and September 2026. Country rankings and per-person consumption come from the ICO Coffee Trade Globe (data.ico.org), which shows coffee year 2025/26 without a login. The ICO calculates per-person consumption as consumption in 60-kilogram bags times 60, divided by 2024 population, so it is kilograms of green coffee per person. Our per-person ranking table includes only countries of 5 million people or more.

FAOSTAT, from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, reports green coffee production by calendar year in tonnes. Where a government sends no figure, FAO imputes one; the table marks which figures are official and which are estimated. FAOSTAT tonnes cannot be compared directly with USDA or ICO bags.

Per-person figures from national bodies (the European Coffee Federation, Brazil's ABIC, Germany's Deutscher Kaffeeverband, Japan's All Japan Coffee Association, Statistics Canada, Norsk Kaffeinformasjon, Unione Italiana Food and the British Coffee Association) are reported as each body publishes them. Some count green coffee, some roasted coffee, some brewed litres or cups, and the years differ, so they are kept in their own section and not ranked against each other.

Export values come from the UN Comtrade database (HS 0901, coffee green or roasted, which excludes instant coffee), from Brazil's exporters council Cecafe (all coffee types), and from the National Statistics Office of Viet Nam (preliminary). Vietnam and Ethiopia do not report to UN Comtrade. Figures marked Brew Gazette calculation are shares, rankings or changes we worked out from the quoted source numbers, always within a single source.
