Which EU Countries Produce And Import The Most Coffee? – CoffeeTalk
Italy is the largest coffee producer in Europe, while Germany is the largest importer. Coffee production in the EU has increased by 15% in the last decade, with each EU citizen consuming about 5kg of coffee in 2023. The EU imports around 2.7 million tonnes of coffee each year, worth €10.6 billion. Germany buys a third of it, followed by Italy (23%), Belgium (10%), Spain (9%), and France (7%). Most of the EU’s coffee imports last year came from Brazil, with Vietnam responsible for 24% and Uganda providing 8%.

The EU is responsible for 44% of coffee-related deforestation, according to a report by the French government.
