Brazil and Vietnam grow most coffee beans

Your morning cup is a trade story — not a single origin.

Half the world's coffee comes from just two countries. Brazil grows about 35% of global production and Vietnam another 17%, leaving Colombia, Ethiopia and every other origin to share the remaining 48%. That concentration is why flooding in Vietnam or shifting supply expectations in Brazil can move prices for roasters and drinkers everywhere — and why coffee's fortunes matter to the roughly 12.5 million farming families it supports.

Brazil and Vietnam grow most coffee beans. Your morning cup is a trade story — not a single origin.

Context

Brazil's 35% and Vietnam's 17% together account for roughly half of global coffee production; Colombia, Ethiopia and all other origins share the remaining 48%. For a crop grown across the tropics, that is unusual concentration at origin.

ICO market reporting through 2026 shows how directly prices track these two origins: severe flooding in Vietnam added upward pressure in late 2025, while improved Brazilian supply expectations helped push the composite indicator to a six-month low of 262.1 US cents per pound in February 2026. By August 2026 the I-CIP had settled around 287.29 US cents per pound.

Trade flows are shifting beneath the headline shares: in the twelve months ending July 2026, Robusta exports rose to 60.01 million bags from 54.67 million a year earlier, while Arabica slipped to 80.96 million from 86.37 million. World coffee exports totalled 12.23 million bags in July 2026 alone.
