Brazil's coffee bean production ranks first in the world Arabica coffee bean producing area coffee consumption new model

By 2020, Brazil's coffee production is expected to exceed 6160 million bags and 60 kg bags, up from 4930 million bags a year ago. Coffee crops are characterized by the biennial effect of harvest yields, in which the annual yield is very high and then relatively low. 2020 is the so-called "active bi-year". Brazil is by far the world's largest coffee producer, while in the domestic sector, the commodity accounted for about 5 per cent of agricultural output in 2019. Nevertheless, the acreage of Brazilian coffee has been on an overall downward trend for a decade and has been compensated for by an increase in average production in recent years.

Coffee variety

The Arabica variety, one of the earliest coffee varieties ever planted, is usually associated with finer, more aromatic coffee, accounting for nearly 70% of Brazil's production in 2019. Although Arabica is more sensitive to biennial effects than Robusta coffee, the higher market price of the variety # 39; offsets lower yields. In fact, Arabica coffee earned nearly 18 billion Brazilian reais in Brazil in 2019.

The following is the data on coffee production in Brazil from 2010 to 2020.

Global coffee industry

Coffee is the second largest trading commodity in the world (after oil). All coffee is grown in the south of the world and consumed mainly in the north of the world. According to 2015 data, the Dutch have the highest per capita consumption of coffee

With regard to the fundamentals of the market, the total production of Brazilian coffee increased from 1.3399 billion bags in 2010 to about 171 million bags in 2018. The origin of coffee can be traced back to Ethiopia in 1000 AD. It is thought that Arab merchants brought it to North Africa and from there it spread to Asia and Europe. The amazing rise of coffee as a commercial commodity began with large-scale plantations in Latin America in the late 18th century. By the 19th century, Brazil accounted for more than 70% of the world market.

With the increasing importance of boutique coffee, fair trade, organic coffee and even "bird-friendly" coffee, new consumption patterns have emerged. Coffee bar chains have expanded rapidly, although these outlets end up consuming "experience" with very low relative coffee content. The coffee bar chain sells not only "good" coffee, but also atmosphere and social orientation. The global coffee chain has experienced a "latte revolution" in which consumers can choose from hundreds of coffee varieties, origin, brewing and grinding methods, seasoning, packaging and atmosphere. Retail coffee prices continue to rise, roasters' profit margins continue to rise, and coffee farmers' prices are lower than production costs.
