Coffee is one of the world’s most widely traded agricultural commodities. Every year, billions of kilograms of green coffee beans are exported across continents to feed roasters, cafes and instant coffee manufacturers. Output varies significantly by country, split between high-quality Arabica and higher-yield Robusta varieties.
Below is the official production ranking based on combined forecasts from the USDA FAS and International Coffee Organization (ICO). All volumes are measured in million 60kg bags, the standard unit within the global coffee trade. The global total production for the 2025/26 season reaches approximately 178.8 million bags.

Important Notes
Coffee trees follow a biennial bearing cycle, meaning harvest volumes naturally alternate between higher and lower yields each season. Figures are forecasts for the 2025/26 coffee marketing year and may see minor revisions. Production data sourced from USDA FAS and ICO.
