The world's largest coffee growers ranked by total green-coffee output, per the USDA's latest global forecast.
Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, forecast at 63,000 thousand 60-kilogram bags of green coffee in 2025/26. Vietnam is second at 30,800 thousand bags and Colombia third at 13,800 thousand bags. The ranking uses total Arabica and Robusta production from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service's Coffee: World Markets and Trade report, 2025/26 forecast, published December 2025.
Coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities on Earth, and its supply is remarkably concentrated: the ten countries below account for roughly 89% of all the coffee grown worldwide. This ranking uses the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA FAS) "Coffee: World Markets and Trade" report, the standard reference dataset for global production. Figures are the 2025/26 marketing-year forecast (published December 2025), measured in thousand 60-kilogram bags of green (unroasted) coffee, and count both Arabica and Robusta. Brazil towers over the field, producing more than a third of the global crop and more than the next three countries combined, while Vietnam's overwhelmingly Robusta crop makes it a clear second. Together the top two grow more than half the world's coffee.
Brazil is the undisputed heart of the coffee world, growing more than a third of the global crop. Its 2025/26 harvest is forecast to dip about 2 million bags on drought and heat stress in Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo, but a record Robusta ('conilon') crop partly offsets the Arabica decline.
Vietnam is the world's Robusta powerhouse, with roughly 95% of output being the hardier, higher-caffeine bean prized for instant coffee and espresso blends. Production is forecast to keep recovering to 30.8 million bags as favorable weather and heavy investment in fertilizer lift yields.
Colombia is the largest producer of washed Arabica, the mild, aromatic coffee that anchors much of the specialty market. Output is forecast to ease to 13.8 million bags as excessive rain and cloud cover disrupted flowering, though disease-resistant varieties kept leaf rust in check.
Indonesia's crop is forecast at a record 12.5 million bags, driven by booming Robusta output in the south of Sumatra, with limited Arabica grown in the north. The archipelago is a top supplier of both commodity Robusta and distinctive specialty lots like Sumatra Mandheling.
The birthplace of Arabica, Ethiopia is forecast to hit a record 11.6 million bags. Growth over recent years has come from replacing more than half the cultivated area with higher-yielding varieties and from post-harvest pruning to lift yields.
Uganda is Africa's second-largest producer after Ethiopia and a major Robusta exporter, though it also grows Arabica in higher-altitude regions. Coffee is a cornerstone of the country's export economy.
India grows both Arabica and Robusta, with Robusta the larger share, concentrated in the southern states of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Much of its crop is shade-grown and exported to Europe.
Honduras is Central America's largest coffee producer, accounting for roughly a third of the region's output. Its almost entirely Arabica crop is forecast to rebound and lead the region's production gains.
Peru is a significant Arabica grower with a large base of smallholder and organic-certified farms in its Andean and high-jungle regions. Its coffee is largely destined for export to the U.S. and Europe.
Mexico rounds out the top ten, growing predominantly Arabica in southern states such as Chiapas, Veracruz, and Oaxaca. It is a leading supplier of organic and fair-trade coffee to the neighboring U.S. market.

Ranked by total annual green-coffee production in thousand 60-kilogram bags, combining Arabica and Robusta. All figures come from a single source and marketing year: the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service "Coffee: World Markets and Trade" report (December 2025), 2025/26 forecast. World output for the year is forecast at a record 178.8 million bags. Share of world is each country's production divided by that world total. No figures are mixed with other sources (e.g. the ICO) inside the ranking.
The 60-kg (132-lb) jute bag is the international standard unit for trading green (unroasted) coffee. USDA and the International Coffee Organization both report national production in thousands of these bags, so the figures here reflect green-bean weight, not roasted or brewed coffee.
All figures are the 2025/26 marketing-year forecast from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service report 'Coffee: World Markets and Trade,' published December 2025. Coffee marketing years differ by country (Brazil's begins in July, Colombia's in October, Indonesia's in April), so 'annual production' is measured over each country's own crop year.
Both. The ranking is total green-coffee output, combining Arabica and Robusta. Some leaders are almost entirely one type (Vietnam is about 95% Robusta; Colombia and Ethiopia are essentially all Arabica), while others like Brazil, Indonesia, Uganda, and India grow meaningful amounts of each.
These ten countries produce roughly 89% of the world's coffee (about 158 million of a forecast 178.8 million bags). The remainder is spread across dozens of smaller producers in Central America, Africa, and Asia, such as Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cote d'Ivoire, and Costa Rica.
