Due to the continuous decline in coffee prices in the international market, the planting area of Malagasy coffee continues to decrease. The latest statistics from the Malaysian Ministry of Agriculture show that the planting area of Malagasy coffee is 190000 hectares, nearly 30,000 hectares less than 20 years ago.

At present, coffee is still an important export product for horses. Malaysia produces an average of 67000 tons of coffee a year, with nearly 40000 tons for export. The important exporters of Malaysian coffee are France, Belgium and Italy, of which Malaysia's exports to France account for 17.76 percent of its total exports.

Malaysian coffee producing areas are mainly distributed in the southeast Fatufawe-Fetuvenani region and Anaranaranjiluo region, of which the former coffee production accounts for 40-45% of Malaysia's total output.

Coffee was first brought to Madagascar by the Reunion people in the 19th century. The two main types of coffee produced in Malaysia are Robusta and Arabica.
