Indonesia: Coffee Annual
Indonesian coffee production is expected to increase from 10.6 million bags green bean equivalent (GBE) in MY 2016/17 to 10.9 million GBE in MY 2017/18. Growers and industry contacts report that total Robusta production is expected to rise slightly despite shortfalls in select regions, while Arabica production is expected to remain unchanged. Indonesian coffee consumption is expected to grow from 3.32 million bags GBE in MY 2016/17 to 3.4 million bags GBE in MY 2017/18, driven by Indonesia’s expanding middle class and the growth of retail coffee outlets. Growing interest in coffee beverages is driving the growth of Arabica imports to Indonesia from diversified origins.
