Brazil is by far the largest coffee producing country in Latin America, with an average annual production of more than 60 million 60-kilogram bags. In the 2022/23 crop year, the country reached an output of 62.600 million bags, representing over one third of the global coffee production that year. Colombia ranked second in the region, with almost 11.300 million bags produced.
Brazil: a robust coffee producer
Even on a global scale, Brazil leads its competitors by a wide margin. Home to most of the world’s arabica beans, the Portuguese speaking nation produces more coffee than Vietnam, Colombia, Indonesia, and Ethiopia combined. However, Brazil’s numbers falter when it comes to exports to United States, who make up the largest population of coffee consumers in the world. In 2021, Colombia led the coffee import market in the U.S., surpassing Brazil by about 100 million U.S. dollars.
Colombia: a competitive coffee market
Famous for its mild arabica roast, Colombia’s presence as a competitive coffee powerhouse goes without saying. In 2021, the South American country’s coffee exports generated over three billion U.S. dollars. That same year, Colombia’s coffee imports amounted to approximately 142 thousand tons, while domestic consumption was estimated at over two million bags. Ultimately, with a population of 50 million people, Colombia is a significant coffee player in both production and consumption.
