If there’s ever any commodity that’s always on the hotlist, then it is coffee. In fact, only oil is traded more than the beverage in the world. More than thirty million bags of coffee are exported annually. In addition to this, around 30-40% of the world’s population consumes coffee every day, and more than 500 billion cups are consumed a year1.
About a decade ago, the exporting coffee industry was worth $20 billion. Now, the global selection of the coffee industry is worth $465.9 billion2. Admittedly, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the supply and demand of coffee all over the world. The coffee industry is, however, getting back in business. With about 25 million people making their living off the industry across more than 50 countries, the coffee industry is now brewing3. Coffee exporters all over the world can now get back to selling to the billions of global consumers.
Notably, the top importers of coffee are the U.S., Germany, France, Italy, and Belgium. Regardless, importers in countries all over the world are still looking to getting a better deal for coffee exports.
