Import flows and supplier concentration
As reported by Eurostat, the EU imported 2.9 million tonnes of coffee from non-EU countries in 2025, up slightly from 2.7 million tonnes in 2015, while the value of those imports climbed from €8.6 billion to €18.7 billion.Brazil remains the EU's largest external supplier, accounting for 1,005,200 tonnes, or 34% of total extra-EU coffee imports. Vietnam follows with 587,500 tonnes, or 20%, while Uganda supplies 262,400 tonnes, Colombia 162,900 tonnes and Honduras 136,500 tonnes.
Germany handles the largest share of those imports within the bloc, with 1,010,500 tonnes, equal to 34% of the total. Italy ranks second with 608,000 tonnes, ahead of Spain with 281,600 tonnes, Belgium with 269,200 tonnes and the Netherlands with 216,600 tonnes.
EU production base and market significance
Processing and production within the bloc also expand over the decade. In 2025, the EU produces more than 2.2 million tonnes of decaffeinated or roasted coffee, including coffee substitutes, up 12% from 2.0 million tonnes in 2015.The value of EU coffee production reaches almost €19 billion in 2025, underscoring the scale of the region's downstream coffee industry. Germany leads production with 561,200 tonnes, or 25% of the EU total, followed by Italy with 514,200 tonnes, or 23%.
Spain produces 211,900 tonnes, France 146,800 tonnes, Poland 134,800 tonnes, Sweden 79,400 tonnes and Finland 39,000 tonnes. Together, these seven countries account for 77% of total EU coffee production, highlighting a concentrated manufacturing base across the region.
Indonesia’s larger-than-expected August trade surplus highlighted how shifts in commodity prices can quickly reshape a country’s external balance. In our earlier article, we noted that export growth was supported by stronger prices for key commodities, while higher crude prices also lifted Indonesia’s oil import bill, underlining the push-and-pull between export gains and import costs.
