Coffee production in Brazil, a coffee producer, has plummeted due to weather, disease and other damage, according to Business Insider. Starbucks, the world's largest coffee chain, has turned its attention to the Chinese market.

From January to September, Starbucks imported nearly 14000 bags of Arabica coffee beans (arabica beans) from China, more than five times the amount imported last year, according to PIERS, a seaport import and export information service.

A number of companies, including Starbucks and Nestl é, have set up coffee bean purchasing sites in Yunnan, China, the report said. Volcafe, the US food company, has also said it will set up a branch in Yunnan, China, to buy and sell coffee beans, marking the growing global popularity of the Chinese coffee bean market.
