Abstract

In terms of coffee production, 2022 data shows that Brazil produces the most, at 3.17 million tonnes (Mt), accounting for the majority of global coffee production. Brazil has long been the world’s leader in coffee production, with its climate conditions and vast agricultural land supporting production. The main coffee-producing countries, after Brazil, are Colombia, Vietnam and Indonesia, and these countries also take advantage of their respective climates and soil conditions to produce coffee. However, coffee production is vulnerable to climate change and pests, and there is a need for a shift to more sustainable agriculture. In particular, Brazil is facing challenges in terms of maintaining quality and responding to environmental protection as production volume increases, and these factors are expected to have a major impact on future production trends.

Coffee production (worldwide)

Looking back at coffee production data from 1961 to 2022, we can see that Brazil has long been the world’s top producer. Notably, Brazil reached a historic peak in 2020, with production hitting 3.71 million tonnes (Mt). During this period, Brazil accounted for a major share of world coffee production and had an enormous influence on the coffee market. However, recent data shows that Brazil’s production has fallen to 85.6% compared to its peak. This decline is the result of a combination of factors, including climate change, pest and disease outbreaks, and increased environmental regulations. Although Brazil’s climate is favorable for coffee production, extreme weather events and fluctuations in precipitation affect production. In addition, maintaining the quality of farmland and the transition to sustainable agriculture are also important factors that will affect future production volumes. Furthermore, the geographical distribution of coffee production around the world is changing, with Vietnam and Colombia, the second largest producers after Brazil, maintaining stable production. This has diversified the global coffee market, drawing attention to production from countries other than Brazil. Overall, coffee production will continue to evolve, adapting to future environmental changes and aiming for sustainable development.

Coffee production (latest year, world wide)

Looking back at the characteristics and trends of coffee agriculture based on 2022 coffee production data, Brazil stands out as leading the way with a production volume of 3.17 million tonnes (Mt). Brazil has been one of the world’s leading coffee producers for many years, and its climate and vast farmland support stable production. The world’s total coffee production for the year was 10.5 million tons, with Brazil accounting for a significant portion. Meanwhile, coffee production is expected to average 130 thousand tonnes (kt) in 2022, with many producing countries producing amounts close to this amount. This shows that while global production remains dependent on Brazil, other major producing countries also provide a stable supply. Trends in coffee production include climate change and environmental issues affecting production. Climate change is causing extreme weather events and pest and disease outbreaks, disrupting production. In addition, sustainable agriculture is becoming increasingly important, with environmental protection and quality improvement becoming issues. Future coffee production will need to address these challenges while maintaining a stable supply.

Wine production (worldwide)

According to 2021 data, Italy is the largest producer of wine, reaching 8.65 million tonnes (Mt). Italy has a long history of wine production, and has established itself as one of the world’s leading wine-producing countries by taking advantage of its wide range of varieties and traditional production techniques. While France and Spain are also major wine producing countries, Italy’s production is the largest due to its unique regionality and diversity. Wine production has consistently fluctuated over the past few decades, but there has been an overall trend towards increased production. Climate change is causing changes, particularly in grape quality and harvest times, which are affecting production volumes. In addition, a wider variety of wines are being produced to suit consumer tastes, and technological innovation is also progressing to improve quality and meet market demands. At the same time, there is a growing need to address environmental issues, and sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly manufacturing processes are attracting attention. As a result, it is expected that the wine industry will continue to evolve in the direction of achieving both quality and environmental protection.

The maximum is 1.72Mt[2011] of Germany, and the current value is about 89.4%

Wine production volume (latest year, world wide)

According to 2021 data, Italy recorded the largest wine production with 5.09 million tonnes (Mt). Italy has a long wine history and extensive grape-growing regions, making it known for its diverse wine production. France and Spain follow suit as major producers, but Italy’s production is at a very high level. Total wine production was 26.9 million tonnes, with an average production of 373 thousand tonnes (kt). These figures show the regional diversity of wine production. France and Spain also have large production volumes, reflecting the global scale of the wine industry. Trends in the wine industry are showing an increase in quality-oriented products, but also an increased interest in sustainability. As climate change affects grape growth and harvesting, innovations in agricultural techniques and measures to protect the environment are being developed. In particular, the introduction of organic farming and low-carbon production processes strives to strike a balance between quality and environmental protection. Additionally, new wines are being developed to meet the diverse tastes of consumers, and the industry continues to grow in response to changing market needs.
