Top 10 Coffee Import Countries We've made a list of the top 10 coffee importing countries and paired it with the data we've found about their coffee markets, according to Statista's main import countries for coffee worldwide report. Lets break down coffee imports by country. 1. The United States In the first place, we have the United States of America. The USA imported US$5.67 million worth of coffee in 2020. Due to weather and climate, the USA is limited in producing its own coffee. This explains a large number of imported goods! And with 62% of Americans drinking coffee every day5, it needs to come from somewhere. The great demand and the lack of local production make America the top coffee importer in the world. 2. Germany

And specifically, Germany is Europes largest importer of green coffee beans6. Germany has a large coffee roasting industry, making them a prominent coffee exporter. The German coffee market often imports from Brazil, Vietnam, and Honduras. 3. France In third place worldwide, and second place in Europe, we have France. France's coffee import value reached US$2.88 million in 2020. France boasts a mature coffee market with a rich history of coffee consumption.

And within the French coffee industry, certification and sustainability are significant trends that consumers look for and value highly. 4. Italy Italy placed fourth overall, bringing in US$1.5 million in coffee products in 2020. This fact may not be surprising, as coffee is a known part of Italian culture. Sipping on a hot espresso in a tiny cup may come to mind when you think about food and drink in Italy. Italian espresso is a famous coffee product around the world, and because of their significant exports, they are also a major importer of coffee 5. Canada The second North American country on our list is Canada. Canada imported US$1.2 million of coffee products in 2020.

Japan The first Asian country on our list is Japan, which imported US$1.17 million in coffee in 2020. The increased coffee consumption in Japan over recent years signals a shift in preference from tea to coffee. With few local producers, Japan relies heavily on importing coffee products worldwide. Japan imports coffee, most notably from Vietnam, and has a big taste for instant coffee products. 8. Spain Spain was the world's 8th biggest coffee importer in 2020, with an import value of $1.01 million. Spain is known for a good cup of coffee, and for good reason: a whopping 87% of the Spanish population drink coffee, and 70% consume coffee daily. Differing vastly from Japan, instant coffee products do not top the market here. Interestingly, Spain is becoming the world's biggest market for decaffeinated coffee beans 9. The United Kingdom Due to their well-known love of tea, you may not expect the United Kingdom to make our list of top 10 coffee importers. But alas, in 9th place was the United Kingdom.

Like other European countries, the Switzerland market values certified, ethical, and sustainable coffee products. It also values organic coffee. Popular Types of Coffee Beans Two main types of coffee beans traded globally are Robusta and Arabica. Arabica is the worlds most popular bean, making up 60% of the worlds coffee12. Many of the top 10 importers we just mentioned prefer the Arabica bean. Germany, the USA, and Italy import Arabica more than any other bean. Arabica is also best for those with organic preferences, so France and Switzerland favor Arabica as well. Espresso drinkers favor Robusta due to its flavor, quality, and caffeine levels. Because of this, the countries that prefer espresso coffee import large amounts of Robusta beans, such as Italy. 4 Advantages of Sourcing Coffee Imports from International Markets When contemplating the initiation of a coffee enterprise, the imperative task of establishing a robust product supply chain comes to the forefront.
