Worldwide coffee exports from all countries totaled US$51.2 billion in 2024. That dollar amount results from a 66.4% increase over the five-year period starting in 2020 when globally exported coffee was worth $30.8 billion.

Year over year, the value of worldwide coffee exports accelerated by 20.8% compared to $42.4 billion.

The 5 biggest international coffee shippers (Brazil, Vietnam, Switzerland, Germany and Colombia) accounted for over half (52.4%) of all exported coffee during the latest annual reporting period. That percentage exceeds the 42.8% one year prior.

From a continental perspective, suppliers in Latin America excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean sold the highest dollar value worth of exported coffee on international markets in 2024 with total shipments valued at $16.2 billion or 38% of the world’s total value.

In second place at 34.6% were sellers in Europe, ahead of coffee competitors located in Asia with a 14.9% share.

Smaller percentages were generated by providers in Africa (7.2%), North America (4.8%), then Oceania (0.6%) led by Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand.

For research purposes, the 4-digit Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) code prefix for coffee is 0901.

Countries Earning Biggest Surpluses from Trading Coffee

The following countries posted the highest positive net exports for coffee during 2024. 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.

1. Brazil: US$11.3 billion (net export surplus up 128.9% since 2020)
2. Vietnam: $3.9 billion (up 106.3%)
3. Colombia: $3.4 billion (up 41.6%)
4. Switzerland: $2.5 billion (up 26.8%)
5. Ethiopia: $1.45 billion (up 82.8%)
6. Indonesia: $1.45 billion (up 85.2%)
7. Honduras: $1.3 billion (up 47%)
8. Uganda: $1.11 billion (up 122.2%)
9. Peru: $1.1 billion (up 72%)
10. Guatemala: $913.4 million (up 40.5%)
11. India: $893.1 million (up 150.2%)
12. Nicaragua: $576.9 million (up 31.1%)
13. Costa Rica: $323.7 million (up 5.6%)
14. Tanzania: $314 million (up 111.9%)
15. Kenya: $290.2 million (up 40.7%)

World-leader Brazil generates the highest surplus in the international trade of coffee. In turn, this positive cashflow confirms Brazil’s strong competitive advantage for this specific product category.

Countries Incurring Biggest Deficits from Trading Coffee

The following countries posted the highest negative net exports for coffee during 2024. 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.

1. United States: -US$7.9 billion (net export deficit up 61.8% since 2020)
2. Germany: -$2.3 billion (up 140.3%)
3. France: -$2.1 billion (up 41.4%)
4. Japan: -$1.7 billion (up 47.3%)
5. Spain: -$1.4 billion (up 94%)
6. South Korea: -$1.2 billion (up 68.3%)
7. Canada: -$1.1 billion (up 50.9%)
8. United Kingdom: -$1.08 billion (up 64.6%)
9. mainland China: -$782.2 million (up 345.6%)
10. Russia: -$653.6 million (up 8.7%)
11. Australia: -$629.8 million (up 39.6%)
12. Poland: -$605.4 million (up 108.3%)
13. Saudi Arabia: -$561 million (up 107.2%)
14. Belgium: -$520 million (up 135.6%)
15. Romania: -$431.7 million (up 68.7%)

The United States of America posted the biggest deficit in the international trade of coffee. In turn, this negative cashflow confirms America’s strong competitive disadvantage for this specific product category but also signals opportunities for coffee-supplying countries that help satisfy the powerful consumer demand.

Biggest Exporters of Coffee by Shipment Weight

In 2024, 9.24 million tons of coffee was exported around the world. That physical volume results from a 4% increase from 8.9 million tons for 2020 and encompasses a 13.4% acceleration compared to the 8.15 million tons in 2023.

14. Netherlands: 178,474 tons (up 4.7%)
15. United States: 129,959 tons (down -10.7%)

The top 5 exporters of coffee by shipment weight (Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Germany and Indonesia) were responsible for almost three-fifths (58.8%) of the total tonnage for globally exported coffee.

The greatest gainers in terms of exported coffee tonnage were sellers located in Vietnam (up 34.4% from 2023), Brazil (up 30.7%), Peru (up 19.2%), Ethiopia (up 15.1%) then Indonesia (up 12.9%).

Year over year, the decliners among the world’s greatest coffee shippers by tonnage were Uganda (down -29.1%), Honduras (down -14%), Belgium (down -13.2%) and the United States of America (down -10.7%).

Average Unit Prices for Exported Coffee by Major Supplying Countries

The world’s average price for exported coffee was US$5,536 per ton in 2024. That benchmark is 60% higher than the $3,459 global average for 2020 and a 6.4% gain compared to the average unit price of $5,463 per ton in 2023.

The list provides the average unit prices for coffee sold by the top 15 exporters of coffee by total value in 2024. Entries are ranked in descending order starting with countries that shipped the highest dollar worth of exported coffee.

1. Brazil: US$4,102 per ton of exported coffee (up 18.3% from 2023)
2. Vietnam: $3,779 per ton (down-2.7%)
3. Switzerland: $34,711 per ton (down-2.2%)
4. Germany: $6,558 per ton (up 6.4%)
5. Colombia: $5,310 per ton (up 7.8%)

14. Uganda: $4,241 per ton (up 64.5%)
15. Peru: $4,517 per ton (up 11.6%)

The costliest coffee with the highest average cost per ton comes from Switzerland and France, well ahead of coffee shipped by suppliers like Italy, Netherlands and Germany.

The least expensive coffee is exported by Vietnam, Brazil, Uganda, Honduras and India. Countries like Vietnam and Brazil may well benefit from economies of scale given their world leadership in global coffee sales.

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)
• Starbucks Corporation (United States)
