India’s coffee exports have jumped about 125% to $1.8 billion in 2024-25 in the last 11 years on account of a series of measures taken by the Coffee Board of India. The exports stood at over $800 million in 2014-15. It was $1.28 billion in 2023-24 and $1.14 billion in 2022-23. Europe remains the top destination for the country's coffee exports. The major countries which import the commodity from India include Italy, Germany, Belgium, Middle East nations, Korea, and Japan.
The major initiatives taken by the Coffee Board of India to push the exports include online issuance with digital signature of registration-cum-membership certificate (RCMC), export permit, certificate of origin, regular interaction with the exporters to discuss bottlenecks and addressing those issues, and providing regular global market information and market intelligence. The other export promotion steps included transit/freight assistance to maximise export earnings by enhancing the market share of value-added coffee. The government provides Rs 3 per kg for export of value-added products; Rs 2 for shipments of high value green coffees to far-off high value markets such as the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Finland, Norway, and Denmark.
To support the business community for value addition, the board supports individuals, self-help groups, and growers. It provides 40 per cent cost of machinery with a ceiling of Rs 15 lakh for installation of roasting, grinding and packaging machinery. The main coffee producing states are Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. India is the seventh largest producer of the world with 3.5 per cent share and fifth largest exporter with 5 per cent share. India produces about 3.6 lakh tonnes of coffee per year.
