Top Producing Coffee Nations
Ok, I admit that’s a weird title, but basically I was wondering what countries produced the most coffee. Here’s a list from 2007 which is the most recent one I’ve come across.
- Brazil
- Vietnam
- Colombia
- Indonesia
- Ethiopia
- Mexico
- India
- Peru
- Guatemala
- Honduras
I was surprised to see Vietnam and India on the list. I guess I just haven’t come across to many coffees from those regions. The rest I would have guessed would be on a top then list. I’m glad to see Ethiopia pretty highup there since coffee originated from there. The business of coffee has certainly become a global affair.
Just for fun and comparison, here are the top coffee drinking nations:
- Finland
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Germany
- France
- Italy
- Brazil
- United States
- Japan
- Britain
Interestingly Brazil is the only country that appears on both lists.
