India's coffee exports are on track to exceed $2 billion by 2025, marking a significant increase from previous years. This growth is driven by rising prices, even as export volumes have slightly declined. The Coffee Board of India's data shows that exports reached nearly $2 billion by mid-December, reflecting a 21% rise from the same period last year.
• Exports as of December 16 totaled $1.968 billion, up from $1.63 billion last year.
• The volume of coffee shipped fell to 366,000 tonnes, down 6.4% from 2024.
• Indian Robusta and Arabica beans are selling at a premium in global markets.
• Major export destinations include Italy, Germany, and Belgium, with Italy being the largest buyer.
This growth in coffee exports highlights India's strong position in the global coffee market. As prices rise, the country continues to attract buyers despite some shifts towards cheaper alternatives. The premium status of Indian coffee indicates its quality and importance in international trade.
