Countries Earning Biggest Surpluses from Trading Coffee
The following countries posted the highest positive net exports for coffee during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the surplus between the value of each country’s coffee exports and its import purchases for that same commodity.
- Brazil: US$14.8 billion (net export surplus up 157% since 2021)
- Vietnam: $5.8 billion (up 176.8%)
- Colombia: $5.6 billion (up 87.9%)
- Ethiopia: $2.9 billion (up 139.9%)
- Honduras: $2.44 billion (up 89.1%)

Countries Incurring Biggest Deficits from Trading Coffee
The following countries posted the highest negative net exports for coffee during 2025. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country’s total exports minus the value of its total imports. Thus, the statistics below present the deficit between the value of each country’s coffee import purchases and its exports for that same commodity.
- United States: -US$11.7 billion (net export deficit up 91.9% since 2021)
- Germany: -$3.5 billion (up 195.7%)
- France: -$2.8 billion (up 68.3%)

Coffee Exporting Companies
According to the Tropical Commodity Coalition (TCC), green coffee beans are a minimally processed product accounting for approximately 95% of coffee exports. Ironically, coffee-producing countries earn comparatively little from the sale and export of their products. That is because a large share of coffee profits go to supply chain middlemen and large roaster conglomerates.
International coffee trading companies operating in producer countries via joint ventures with local middlemen. The following are examples of coffee-trading companies located in the country shown within parentheses:
- Barbera Coffee Company (Italy)
- Coffee Cabana Brazil (Brazil)
- Maxwell House (United States)
- Miko Coffee (Belgium)
- Nestlé (Switzerland)
- Neumann Gruppe AG (Germany)
- O’Coffee – Brazilian Estates (Brazil)
- Ospina Coffee Company (Colombia)
- Simexco Daklak Ltd (Vietnam)
