Ethiopia: Coffee Annual
Link to report:
Ethiopia’s coffee production for marketing year 2025/26 is projected to reach 11.6 million 60-kg bags, supported by favorable weather, increased productivity from rejuvenated aging trees, and the use of improved inputs such as high-yielding seedlings. Export volumes are forecast to rise to 7.8 million bags, driven by strong global prices and policy reforms that expanded direct access for producers and exporters to international markets. Recent macroeconomic reforms, including the adoption of a market-based foreign exchange rate system, are enhancing export competitiveness and raising farmer incomes. Guided by the 15-year Comprehensive Coffee Development Strategy, Ethiopia aims to become the world’s second-largest coffee producer and exporter by advancing sustainability, boosting competitiveness, and diversifying markets.
