Major coffee exporting countries worldwide 2020

In 2020, Brazil exported nearly five billion U.S. dollars’ worth of coffee to other countries, making it the world’s leading coffee exporter by far. Switzerland followed in second place with a trade value of roughly 2.86 billion U.S. dollars.

Coffee producing regions

Not only was Brazil the top exporter of coffee, the South American country was also by far the world’s largest producer. In 2020, Brazilians produced over 69 million 60 kilogram bags of coffee, more than double the amount generated by that year’s runner-up, Vietnam. The region of Latin America as a whole was responsible for producing more than 100 million bags of coffee beans in that year.

Starbucks worldwide

Starbucks, the largest multinational coffeehouse chain worldwide, has recently experienced considerable growth both in terms of sales and store count. Since 2010, the company’s net revenue grew from just over ten billion to over 24 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. Within the same decade, the number of Starbucks coffeehouses around the world nearly doubled, ultimately reaching a grand total of over 33,800 stores.
