The chart illustrates the top five coffee-exporting nations, namely Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia, and the amount of coffee they exported in 2018 and 2023.
It is clear that the amount of coffee exported from all countries increased from 2018 to 2023. Brazil remained the largest exporter in both years, while Indonesia was consistently the smallest exporter in 2023.

In 2023, the amount of coffee from Brazil grew to 3.0 million kg, maintaining the first rank. Vietnam saw a significant increase to 2.2 million kg, while Colombia experienced a slight increase to 1.2 million kg. Ethiopia’s export climbed to 1.2 million kg, narrowing the gap of Columbia. In contrast, Indonesia showed a moderate increase to 0.7 million kg.
Overall, although the amount of coffee across all countries grew in 2023. Brazil and Vietnam dominated the quantities of coffee, Indonesia remained the smallest contribution.
The bar chart illustrates the amount of coffee exported by the top five coffee-producing countries—Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Indonesia—in 2018 and 2023. The figures are measured in millions of kilograms.
Overall, all five countries experienced an increase in coffee exports over the five-year period, with Brazil remaining the largest exporter by a significant margin. In 2018, Brazil exported 2.5 million kilograms of coffee, the highest among all the countries, and this figure rose to 3.0 million kilograms in 2023. Vietnam, the second-largest exporter, also saw a notable increase from 1.8 million kilograms in 2018 to 2.2 million kilograms in 2023.
Colombia and Ethiopia demonstrated more moderate growth. Coffee exports in Colombia increased from 1.2 million kilograms to 1.5 million kilograms, while Ethiopia’s exports rose from 0.8 million kilograms to 1.2 million kilograms during the same period. By contrast, Indonesia had the smallest volume of exports in both years, increasing only slightly from 0.6 million kilograms in 2018 to 0.7 million kilograms in 2023.
