CHINA’S COFFEE BOOM: IMPORTS SOAR TO 5.6M BAGS IN 2024/25

China’s coffee imports are expected to surge to 5.6 million bags in 2024/25, nearly tripling in the past decade. Brazil and Colombia have emerged as top suppliers, overtaking Vietnam and Indonesia. Green coffee leads this growth, now accounting for over 60% of total imports, while soluble coffee remains steady.

Domestic consumption has surged by 150% in the past 10 years, driven by urban professionals and online retail trends. Coffee culture is on the rise, making China a key player in global coffee demand
