Brazil is the world's most important producer of raw coffee beans, accounting for about 1% of the world's total output. Although its output has been surpassed by Vietnam in recent years, its important position in the global coffee market is still difficult to shake. Because its exports of raw coffee beans are all Arabica (Brazil's small amount of Robusta coffee is not enough for its domestic consumption. Vietnam exports the vast majority of raw coffee beans). In addition, Brazil is the second largest coffee consumer in the world after the United States, and its consumption is close to that of the United States and has a tendency to exceed it.
