The amount to yield coffee in each country around the world

Total

Abstract

According to 2022 data, China recorded the largest yield in coffee production, achieving a high productivity of 3.27 tonnes per hectare. This highlights China’s emergence as an emerging coffee producing nation in recent years. Coffee is a crop that is primarily grown in tropical regions, and Brazil, Colombia, and Vietnam have long been major producers. In these countries, climate, soil conditions and traditional cultivation techniques influence productivity, but China’s rise is due to the introduction of new agricultural techniques, improved varieties and improved agricultural infrastructure. China’s coffee production has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by innovations in agricultural technology to meet growing domestic demand and export markets. Another factor behind this is the advancement of China’s agricultural technology and government support policies, which are contributing to improved productivity. Going forward, improvements in productivity in emerging countries, including China, are likely to have a significant impact on trends in the global coffee market.

Coffee production (around the world)

Looking back at data from 1961 to 2022, we can see a notable change in coffee production. Of particular note is that Malaysia achieved the highest yield of 3.92 tonnes/hectare in 2013. Malaysia’s high yields were the result of efficient agricultural techniques, improved varieties and optimised climatic conditions, but have since fallen to 67.8% of their peak. This may be due to degradation of farmland, market fluctuations, or conversion to other crops. On the other hand, the overall trends between 1961 and the present include a shift in the geographical distribution of coffee production and an increase in productivity. While the traditional major producers, Brazil, Colombia, and Vietnam, are maintaining stable production, emerging countries are also on the rise. In addition, climate change and changes in market demand affect the selection of production sites, while advances in agricultural technology and international market trends have a significant impact on production volumes. Technological innovation and sustainable agricultural practices will be key to optimizing coffee production in the future.

Coffee production (latest year, world wide)

According to data for 2022, coffee production shows an interesting trend. In particular, China emerged as the new leader in coffee production, achieving the highest yield of 3.27 tons per hectare. China’s success can be attributed to technological innovations and improved cultivation methods. The overall average yield was 745 metric tons per hectare, with China’s figures standing out. Additionally, the total production volume was 58.1 tonnes per hectare, indicating the large scale of coffee production. In the long run, major producers such as Brazil and Vietnam continue to play an important role, while emerging countries such as China have been able to improve their productivity. Overall, coffee production is dynamic, driven by geography and technological change, and new agricultural techniques and market trends will continue to have a major impact on productivity.

Coffee production (continent)

Based on 2022 data, Oceania’s coffee production yield of 1.57 tonnes/hectare is the highest overall, indicating advances in agricultural techniques and increased productivity in the region. Oceania’s coffee production is driven by favorable climatic conditions and soil conditions, as well as advanced agricultural techniques and efficient management practices. Countries such as Australia and New Zealand are particularly leading this trend. Historically, coffee production has been concentrated mainly in tropical regions, but recent improvements in production techniques have led to high yields being achieved in non-traditional regions as well. Oceania’s success suggests that adaptation to climate change and the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices are working. However, other major producing countries, particularly in South America and Africa, continue to produce on a large scale and are also innovating and adopting sustainable practices. Overall, coffee production is becoming more diverse, with regional characteristics becoming increasingly important.

Coffee production (latest year, continent)

Data for 2022 shows Asia achieving the highest yield in coffee production at 1.28 tonnes per hectare. Asia’s high yields reflect advanced agricultural techniques and improved rice varieties, especially in major producing countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia. In recent years, the region has significantly increased productivity through efficient cultivation methods and optimized climatic conditions. The overall average yield was 930 metric tons per hectare, with yields in Asia exceeding this average. In contrast, the total production volume was 4.65 tons per hectare, which shows that although coffee production varies from region to region, overall productivity remains high. A trend that has been seen up until now is that, in addition to traditional coffee-producing regions such as South America and Africa, Asia is emerging as a new production center and is increasing its influence. If productivity in Asia continues to improve, it will further strengthen its position in the global coffee market. At the same time, other regions will also be required to introduce sustainable agricultural techniques and adapt to climate change, which are expected to have a significant impact on productivity.
