Market Trends of Raw Coffee Beans Industry

Increasing Demand for Certified Coffee

  • Due to rising consumer concerns regarding the sourcing and quality of coffee, the demand for certified coffee is increasing globally. Certified coffee is an assurance to the consumer about the reliability of the product. These certifications offer various third-party assurances to the consumer regarding environment-friendly farming practices and the quality involved during the production of coffee.
  • As a result, some of the coffee certification organizations, such as Fair Trade Certification, Rainforest Alliance Certification, UTZ Certification, and USDA Organic Certification, are engaged in keeping a check on the production procedures and supply chain of coffee. These certifications help improve the quality of life of workers and help them gain adequate market access through increased trade of certified coffee.
  • Many Fairtrade coffee growers also have organic certifications that ensure environmentally sustainable production. In Indonesia, around 25 Fairtrade-certified coffee cooperatives, and 98 percent of them have organic certifications. Having organic and Fairtrade certifications increase market opportunities for coffee growers and enable them to fetch higher prices from consumers willing to pay a premium for sustainable coffee.
  • Among all the certifications, UTZ Certification or the rainforest alliance is an important certification that allows farmers to grow coffee professionally with care for local communities and the environment. The most important aspect of the UTZ certification program is traceability, which means that consumers can know exactly where their coffee comes from and how it was produced. This makes the consumers more inclined towards purchasing certified coffee, thereby fueling the growth of the market during the forecast period.

South America Dominates the Export Market

  • In South America, Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer and exporter, responsible for 40% of the world's total production, with 69.9 million bags in 2021. Due to its major production and exportation role in the global coffee market, Brazil has also been recognized for its commitment to quality and social sustainability parameters based on voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) and geographic identification (GI). In 2021, Brazil held a share of 30.2% of the coffee production worldwide, followed by Vietnam and Indonesia, with 18.6% and 7.7%, respectively.
  • According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), coffee plantations in Brazil covered about 11.3 hectares in 2021. Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, São Paulo, and Parana are the main coffee-producing regions. These regions produced 3 million metric tons of coffee in 2021, of which 2.3 million metric tons were exported. The major countries that imported raw coffee beans from Brazil as of 2021 were the United States (USD 1.12 million), Germany (USD 1.1 million), Belgium (USD 4.9 million), and Italy (USD 4.8 million), among others. Brazil is also the second-largest consumer of coffee.
  • Brazil's major green bean export destinations include Germany, the United States, Italy, Belgium, and Japan. Other key exporters of coffee beans include Vietnam, Colombia, Germany, Indonesia, and Honduras. However, the existence of economic and social barriers plays salient challenges for farmers to meet the quality standards as well as GI protocols among other market compliance tools, in addition to the correct value appropriation arising for quality sustainable adopted strategies by coffee farmers in Brazil.
