"this growth shows that the region has great potential for development, and in traditional Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, we can get consumers into the habit of drinking coffee and replace traditional local drinks such as tea. When our coffee entered the Asian market, consumers began to appreciate and purchase such drinks. " Matos said.

"the total amount of Brazilian coffee purchased by Japan and South Korea has increased significantly over the past 30 years, while China has the largest metropolitan group in the world, and the Chinese market has the conditions to become a major global consumer market for Brazilian coffee. The data we have observed also prove that Brazilian coffee exports will increase significantly in the next few years. " Matos said.

Matos also believes that in addition to China, India and Indonesia, two developing countries with large populations, will also promote the export of Brazilian coffee.
