Global Coffee Production in 2025: Major Producers, Exporters, and Market Trends
Global Coffee Production in 2025/26: Major Producers, Green Bean Exporters, and Market Trends
Brazil leads global coffee production in USDA’s revised 2025/26 marketing-year data with 63.0 million 60-kilogram bags. Vietnam ranks second at 31.7 million, followed by Colombia at 12.5 million, Indonesia at 12.37 million and Ethiopia at 11.56 million.
These are marketing-year figures, not January-to-December 2025 totals. USDA uses different marketing-year calendars for producing countries, including July–June for Brazil, April–March for Indonesia and October–September for Colombia.

USDA also publishes an aggregated “Other” category. This section therefore compares the 10 named exporters in the summary rather than claiming a complete global Top 10. Roasted and soluble coffee exports are separate USDA series.
Chart: Top 13 confirmed coffee producers in 2025/26
The chart uses the same unrounded USDA production values as the ranking table.
Methodology
The ranking uses total coffee production from USDA Foreign Agricultural Service’s July 2026 Coffee: World Markets and Trade summary. The target period is marketing year 2025/26 and the source unit is thousand 60-kilogram bags.
Metric
Total coffee production, combining Arabica and Robusta where both types are produced. Higher raw production ranks higher.
Unit
USDA reports thousand 60-kg bags. Display values divide the source number by 1,000 and show millions of bags.
Marketing-year basis
MY 2025/26 is not a common January–December period. USDA assigns producing countries different marketing-year start months.
Source priority
The July 2026 USDA revision replaces earlier 2025/26 estimates where values changed. Earlier releases are not averaged with the newer official revision.
Inclusion rule
A rank is assigned only where the global position can be verified from the USDA summary without estimating a country hidden inside the residual “Other” category.
Data status
Each row is tagged official_value because USDA directly publishes the number. The visible text identifies the numbers as USDA estimates rather than final calendar-year observations.
Ranking formula: sort the raw 2025/26 USDA Production values in descending order. No averaging, interpolation or modeled projection is used. Display rounding occurs only after ranking.
China’s production is 1,900 thousand bags, while USDA’s entire residual “Other” category totals 1,865 thousand. China is therefore securely ranked 13th. The next named producers cannot be assigned exact global positions from the summary alone because an individual country inside “Other” could alter the ordering below China.
The green bean exporter table uses USDA’s separate Bean Exports series. It does not combine green beans with roast-and-ground or soluble exports.
This metric does not measure coffee quality, export revenue, farm income, yield, harvested area, specialty-coffee share or producer profitability.
Main ranking: Top 13 confirmed coffee producers in 2025/26
USDA data allow global positions 1–13 to be verified without estimating producers contained in the residual “Other” category.

Insights from the 2025/26 production ranking
Key Insight
Brazil’s 63.0 million bags place it well ahead of Vietnam and every other confirmed producer in the 2025/26 ranking.
Notable Pattern
Colombia, Indonesia and Ethiopia form a tight cluster from 11.56 million to 12.50 million bags, far below the two largest producers.
Regional Concentration
Seven of the 13 confirmed positions are held by producers in the Americas: Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
Outlier
Brazil produces almost twice Vietnam’s volume and roughly five times the output of Colombia, creating a steep gap at the top of the ranking.
What the 2025/26 coffee production ranking means
Production measures physical coffee output, not export revenue or coffee quality. Prices, bean type, processing and destination markets can produce very different economic outcomes for countries with similar production volumes.
Production and green bean exports are also different measures. Domestic consumption, inventory changes and processing mean that harvested volume does not automatically equal the number of green coffee bags exported during the same marketing year.
Do not read MY 2025/26 as a single January–December 2025 period. USDA uses country-specific marketing years so that production and trade can be compared within its international coffee database.
FAQ
Which country leads global coffee production in USDA’s 2025/26 data?
Brazil ranks first with an estimated 63.0 million 60-kilogram bags in USDA’s July 2026 revision for marketing year 2025/26.
Why does the ranking use 2025/26 instead of calendar-year 2025?
USDA reports producer data by marketing year. The start month differs by country, including July for Brazil, April for Indonesia and October for Colombia.
Are these official published values?
Yes. Each ranking value is directly published by USDA FAS. They are USDA estimates for MY 2025/26 rather than final January-to-December 2025 observations.
Why does the exact global ranking stop at 13?
China produces 1.900 million bags, while USDA’s entire residual “Other” category totals 1.865 million. That guarantees China’s 13th position, but the ordering below it cannot be fully verified from the summary table alone.
What does one coffee bag mean?
USDA coffee statistics use 60-kilogram bags. The source table reports thousands of 60-kg bags; display values on this page are shown in millions.
Does the exporter table measure all forms of coffee exports?
No. It uses USDA’s green coffee Bean Exports series. Roast-and-ground and soluble coffee exports are published separately.
What are the main 2025/26 global coffee indicators?
USDA reports 178.830 million bags of production, 173.459 million of domestic consumption, 119.538 million of green bean exports and 24.370 million of ending stocks.
