India is now the seventh-largest coffee producer globally with exports reaching $1.29 billion in FY24, almost double the $719.42 million in 2020-21, the commerce and industry ministry said Monday. In the first half of January 2025, India exported over 9,300 tonnes of coffee with top buyers including Italy, Belgium, and Russia.

Approximately three-fourths of India’s coffee production consists of Arabica and Robusta beans. These are primarily exported as unroasted beans.

“However, there is a growing demand for value-added products like roasted and instant coffee, further fueling the export boom,” the ministry said.

Domestic consumption has increased to 91,000 tonnes in 2023 from 84,000 tonnes in 2012.

Karnataka leads in production, contributing 248,020 MT in 2022-23, followed by Kerala and Tamil Nadu.


As per the statement, through the Integrated Coffee Development Project (ICDP), the focus is on improving yields, expanding cultivation in non-traditional regions and ensuring the sustainability of coffee farming.“A prime example of the success of this is Araku Valley, where nearly 150,000 tribal families in collaboration with the Coffee Board and the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) have increased coffee production by 20%,” it said.

These measures are part of a comprehensive strategy to strengthen India’s coffee industry, increase productivity and improve its global competitiveness
