Coffee is the first item in crop trade volume in the world, and it is really amazing that the first place is not human staple food such as rice, wheat or corn. Another unknown reason why it can occupy the first place so miraculously is that the origin of coffee is different from the place of consumption. Most of the coffee is grown in poor countries such as Central and South America, Asia and Africa, while consumption is mainly in the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other advanced countries. What is even more amazing is that most consumer countries are unable to grow coffee. Although coffee is grown in Hawaii, Hawaii's raw beans are not enough to supply American demand; in addition, raw beans from Hawaii are exported outside the United States, such as Japan. Some people may ask, "I heard that coffee trees are also planted in South Korea." "although it is indeed planted, the coffee grown in Gangwon-do, Jeju Island and Gyeonggi-do in South Korea is not used to produce raw beans, but for income from visits or for the sale of saplings.

The first largest producer of coffee: Brazil

Although the packaging units of raw beans vary from country to country, they are generally packed in bags of 60 kilograms. World coffee production in 2013, calculated on the basis of 60 kilograms, was as high as 100 million bags, of which Brazil was the highest. Brazil ranked first with 55.82 million bags, Vietnam with 22 million bags, Indonesia with 12.73 million bags, Colombia with 9.5 million bags and Ethiopia with 8.1 million bags.

Many people are surprised that Vietnam ranks second in coffee production. Most of the varieties produced in Vietnam are Robusta, which is rarely drunk as a single variety, so it is more difficult for people to come into contact with it in cafes. Most of them are sent to factories to be used as beans for espresso. The third largest producer in 2013 was Indonesia, which was usually followed by Colombia, but at that time Colombian coffee trees were suffering from disease and were being improved, resulting in a decline in production, while Indonesia's production increased, thus changing the ranking. The top five coffee producers are Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia and Ethiopia, and it is not too much to call these five coffee countries. Brazil's Arabica coffee beans, which account for half of the world's production, are not only cheap and of ideal quality; Vietnam is the largest producer of Robsta, the most commonly used instant coffee; Indonesia produces a wide variety of coffee in many archipelago; Colombia, on the other hand, is famous for its excellent quality and high output and is famous for drinking the highest varieties at low prices.

The largest consumer of coffee: the United States

So where is the biggest consumer of coffee? According to the statistics of the international coffee organization ICO (International Coffee Organization), the United States is, of course, based on imports. The first place was 26.79 million bags of raw beans imported by the United States, 21.79 million bags by Germany, 8.81 million bags by Italy, 8.28 million bags by Japan, 6.6 million bags by France and 1.94 million bags by South Korea, ranking 14th. Using ICO statistics as a benchmark, there will be a slight change if the insufficient part of this statistic is taken into account. According to statistics, most of the countries with high coffee consumption are advanced countries. in fact, among the largest economies, coffee consumption also occupies the top one or two rankings.

Maximum coffee consumption per person: Finland

The countries with the highest coffee consumption are the United States, Germany, Italy and Japan, and where is the country that drinks the most coffee per person? According to the statistics of ICO in 2011, the country with the highest consumption per person is Finland, with an average consumption of 12.9kg of coffee per person per year. Based on the fact that a cup of coffee requires eight grams of coffee beans, it is equivalent to 1612.5 cups of coffee, so it means that each citizen will drink 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day. The second place was Norway, with 9.51 kg for one person; the third place was 8.21 kg for Denmark; 4.24 kg for the United States; 55.62 kg for Italy, which is famous for its coffee; and 2.17 kg for South Korea.
