This is a list of agricultural exports, which includes coffee, maize, rice, and wheat.

Coffee

Export data ICO export and re-export data

The ICO reports data on exports from its "exporting members" (and three non-members), as well as data on re-imports from "importing members". The United States is the only major re-exporting nation to also produce any significant amount of coffee domestically, around 3,100 tonnes in the United States proper and another 1,600 tonnes in Puerto Rico. The ICO reports another 45,200 tonnes of exports from other non-member countries but does not break down what those are; the largest unlisted producing nations are Guinea (200,000 tonnes produced in 2023), Laos (178,000), China (109,000), and Madagascar (49,300).

ITC export data

The ITC reports the total exports of all coffee products including roasted, ground, and instant coffee. Unlike the first table, this data includes both coffee produced by that country, and imported coffee which has been processed or packaged and then re-exported. Of the countries listed, ten are significant producers and the others primarily re-export coffee. The United States is the only major re-exporting nation to also produce any significant amount of coffee domestically, around 3,100 tonnes in the United States proper and another 1,600 tonnes in Puerto Rico. ITC figures are gross export values; many of the major re-exporting countries import significantly more coffee for domestic consumption. For example, the Netherlands exports $1.2bn of coffee, but buys more than it exports and so has a net trade deficit of $355m.

The ICO figures are often significantly different from those of the ITC; for example, the ICO lists Colombia as exporting 654,000 tonnes and Germany as (re-)exporting 757,000, while the equivalent ITC figures are 591,000 and 552,000 respectively. This is likely due to differences in data sources (official versus estimated outputs), measurement periods (the ICO reports February to January; the ITC the calendar year), and potentially in exactly what is being measured - roasted coffee beans will be around 20% lighter than an equivalent amount of green coffee beans, and instant coffee will be substantially lighter than beans or ground coffee.

Exports of coffee

The following is a list of countries by coffee exports, covering both exports of green coffee as well as re-exports of processed coffee. There is also a separate list of countries by coffee production. This table lists:

a) Total exports in 60kg bags and in ton equivalents, as reported by the International Coffee Organization (ICO) for the one-year period from March 2023 to February 2024, or re-exports in 60kg bags and in ton equivalents, as reported by the International Coffee Organization (ICO) for 2023; and b) Total exports of coffee products in millions of United States dollars and in tons, as reported by the International Trade Centre for 2023.
