☕ Indian Coffee Market — July 2026

July was another strong month for Indian coffee exports, but the outlook for the next crop is becoming more interesting.

India's coffee exports reached 281,000 MT by 21 July, up 23.7% compared with the same period last year.

At the same time, an erratic monsoon across key growing regions and increasing pest pressure have raised concerns around the 2026–27 crop, with the latest forecast putting production at 6.14 million 60-kg bags.

There were also some interesting developments beyond production and prices — including growing experimentation with controlled fermentation, increasing interest in GI-tagged coffees, and greater focus on EUDR-related farm traceability.

I've put together the key numbers and developments in this July market snapshot. ☕

Indian coffee had an interesting June. ☕

The export numbers remained strong. Coffee shipments during April–June were up 28% compared with last year, while export value crossed $678 million. India's exports for the first six months of 2026 also reached 255,000 tonnes, compared with 204,000 tonnes during the same period last year.

At the same time, the weather has become a bigger concern for the next crop.

Rainfall during the early monsoon was significantly below normal across some of India's key coffee regions — including Wayanad, Chikmagaluru, Kodagu and Hassan. This has added to concerns around the 2026–27 crop, particularly for Arabica.

There were a few other interesting developments during the month, from pest pressure in plantations to India's continued push into international coffee markets.

I've put together a quick visual summary of the developments that stood out in June.

May brought an interesting shift in the Indian coffee market.

While futures prices moved lower throughout the month, export momentum remained remarkably strong. At the same time, the latest crop outlook points to a smaller 2026/27 harvest, particularly for Arabica.

A few highlights:

☕ Arabica prices corrected through May

📦 Coffee exports up 27.5% YoY

🌱 Production forecast down 4.5%

🌍 Trade agreements creating new opportunities for instant coffee exports

🌦️ Climate variability remains a key long-term theme

I've summarized the key developments into a simple one-page market snapshot.

Curious to hear whether you're seeing similar trends across other coffee origins.

Prices softening. Exports strong. GI Tag Push.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what’s happening in the Indian coffee market right now:

• Prices have corrected after a strong run-up
• Export momentum remains strong
• Supply is easing with Vietnam + Brazil output
• Buyers are adjusting sourcing (especially Robusta)

—

On the ground in India:

• Push toward premium / GI coffees
• Climate variability impacting yield & quality

Wonder what you are observing at your end?

P.S. Save this if you track coffee markets.

Global trade set to exceed $35 trillion in 2025:

Global trade is projected to grow by about 7% in 2025, reaching a new high of over $35 trillion despite a slowdown in momentum, rising costs, geopolitical tensions, and uneven demand across regions.

According to the latest update from the United Nations Trade and Development Agency (UNCTAD):

• Trade widened even in the second half of the year, driven by goods and services, with goods contributing around $1.5 trillion and services adding roughly $750 billion

• East Asia, Africa, and South-South trade were among the strongest contributors to this expansion, reflecting shifting patterns in global commerce

At the same time, ongoing uncertainties — from geopolitical fragmentation to higher trade costs — are expected to slow growth in 2026.

For buyers and exporters alike, this dual picture — record trade alongside slowing momentum — underscores the importance of adaptability, diversified networks, and understanding evolving global flows. 🌍

Grading, Sorting & Export Quality:

Export quality is decided here.

Before coffee is shipped, one final step decides whether it meets export expectations — grading and sorting. ☕

At this stage, beans are evaluated for size, density, and defects to ensure uniformity across lots. This consistency is critical for buyers, especially when coffee is roasted or blended at scale.

Grading isn’t about making coffee better —
it’s about ensuring reliability, repeatability, and trust in every shipment.

For anyone sourcing coffee internationally, this step explains why two lots from the same origin can perform very differently if quality control isn’t aligned.

This marks the final stage at origin before coffee enters global trade routes —
ready to travel from India to buyers around the world. 🌍☕

Drying & Curing — Making Coffee Stable and Export-Ready:

This is where coffee becomes export-ready.

After processing, coffee still isn’t ready to travel the world.
It first needs stability. ☕

Drying and curing are critical steps where moisture levels are carefully controlled, defects are reduced, and consistency is established. Done right, these stages protect flavour, shelf life, and performance during transit.

At curing facilities, coffee is cleaned, hulled, sorted, and prepared to meet export requirements. This is where raw agricultural produce becomes a reliable, tradable commodity.

For global buyers, curing plays a major role in ensuring uniformity across shipments — something that matters just as much as origin or grade.

Another essential link in the coffee value chain —
and a step that quietly determines export success. 🌍☕

Why Buyers Are Rethinking Single-Country Sourcing:

Global buyers are changing how they source.

Over the last few years, global buyers have started rethinking a key assumption:
that sourcing from a single country is always the most efficient option.
Supply chain disruptions, logistics shocks, and shifting trade dynamics have pushed businesses to look for reliability, flexibility, and long-term partners — not just the lowest cost.

This is where India’s role in global trade continues to strengthen.
With a wide product base, improving infrastructure, and export-ready ecosystems across sectors, India is increasingly viewed as a stable sourcing alternative.

For exporters and merchant traders, this shift means one thing:
buyers value consistency, communication, and ex*****on more than ever before.

Trade today is less about transactions —
and more about trust built over time. 🌍

This is where coffee starts to transform:

After harvesting, coffee doesn’t head to a warehouse.
It enters its first major transformation stage. ☕

This is where cherries are processed — separating the bean from the fruit and preparing it for drying. The method chosen at this stage plays a key role in shaping flavour, clarity, and consistency.

Whether washed, natural, or honey-processed, these decisions influence how coffee behaves later — during curing, grading, roasting, and ultimately in the cup.

Processing is often where quality is either protected or compromised. It’s also where experience, discipline, and consistency matter most.

For anyone sourcing coffee, understanding this step helps explain why process details are just as important as origin and grade.
Another important link in the coffee value chain.

More ahead as the journey continues. 🌍☕

Harvesting decides more than people realise:

Long before coffee is graded or priced,
its quality is already being decided — at harvest. ☕
At origin, harvesting isn’t just about quantity.

It’s about timing, ripeness, and selection. Ripe cherries lead to better flavour development, while mixed or premature picking can affect consistency down the line.

This step is often invisible to buyers, yet it plays a critical role in how coffee eventually performs — in roasting, cupping, and repeat orders.

For anyone involved in sourcing or exports, understanding harvesting practices helps explain why two coffees from the same region can taste very different.
This is another quiet but essential step in the coffee value chain.

More ahead as the journey continues. 🌍☕
