The coffee exports of India touched an all-time high of 3.95 lakh tonnes in 2017-18 as compared to 3.53 lakh tonnes in the previous fiscal. In 2015-16, the exports aggregated at 3.16 lakh tonnes.

Minister of State for Commerce and Industry C R Chaudhary said the demand of Indian coffee is seen to have increased in Germany, Indonesia, USA, Poland, Libya, Spain, Tunisia, Ukraine, Italy and Belgium. He also said coffee is primarily an export oriented commodity for India.

Chaudhary further said the demand/consumption in domestic market is about 25 percent to 30 percent of country's coffee production and therefore, does not drastically impact the prices of coffee in the domestic market.
