India Coffee
India is now seventh largest coffee producer in world, export touches $1.29 billion in FY 2023-24
India is now the seventh-largest coffee producer globally with exports reaching $1.29 billion in FY 2023-24, almost double the $719.42 million in 2020-21, said the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Monday.
"India's coffee exports have grown significantly due to the increasing global demand for its rich and unique flavors," the Ministry said.
In the first half of January 2025 India exported over 9,300 tonnes of coffee with top buyers including Italy, Belgium, and Russia.
Approximately three-fourths of India’s coffee production consists of Arabica and Robusta beans.
These are primarily exported as unroasted beans.
However, there is a growing demand for value-added products like roasted and instant coffee, further fueling the export boom.
Due to rise of cafe culture, higher disposable incomes and a growing preference for coffee over tea, coffee consumption in India is also steadily increasing.
This trend has been observed particularly in both urban and rural areas. Domestic consumption has increased from 84,000 tonnes in 2012 to 91,000 tonnes in 2023.
This surge reflects a broader shift in drinking habits, as coffee becomes a staple in daily life.
