Indonesia Coffee Export Value and Volume in 2025

Indonesia's coffee bean exports (HS 0901) totaled $3.10 billion across 15,640 shipments in 2025 — a 90% surge in value from $1.63 billion in 2024, even as shipment frequency fell 14%. This divergence signals a clear consolidation: fewer, larger shipments at significantly higher per-unit value.

The price rally didn't happen in isolation. ICO market reports confirm that global Robusta exports from Indonesia jumped 46% in coffee year 2024/25 to 9.77 million bags, as the country filled a supply gap left by Brazil's normalization after its unusually high 2023/24 shipments. Indonesia and Vietnam together added a combined net gain of 5.4 million bags in Robusta exports during 2024/25, reshaping global supply dynamics.

Table: Indonesia Coffee Beans Export Value, Weight, Unit Price (Source: yTrade)

Metric	2025	2024	YoY Change
Total Value	3.10B USD	1.63B USD	+90.41%
Total Weight	495.81M kg	314.85M kg	+57.48%
Frequency	15.64K	18.24K	-14.22%
Avg Unit Price	$6.26/kg	$5.17/kg	+20.91%

The 14% decline in shipment count alongside a 57% increase in weight points squarely to consolidation. Large commodity trading houses are replacing smaller lot transactions with bulk green bean shipments — a pattern consistent with the buyer composition discussed below.

For context, Indonesia's coffee area has remained flat at roughly 1.2 million hectares over the past decade, with no major expansion expected. Over 95% of production comes from smallholder plots averaging one hectare, mostly in Sumatra, where Robusta dominates the southern lowlands and limited Arabica is grown in the northern highlands. This means Indonesia's export gains in 2025 were driven primarily by price — not new acreage.

What Type of Coffee Does Indonesia Export?

Indonesia overwhelmingly exports raw green beans — the cheapest link in the coffee value chain. In 2025, HS 090111 (unroasted, non-decaffeinated coffee) accounted for $3.00 billion, or 96.8% of total HS 0901 value. The value-add of roasting, blending, and packaging is almost entirely captured by processors in destination countries like Germany, Belgium, and the United States.

Approximately 87% of Indonesian coffee output is Robusta, grown primarily in Lampung and South Sumatra. Indonesia's Robusta is a workhorse ingredient — widely used in espresso blends, instant coffee, and ready-to-drink products. Arabica, grown in smaller volumes in Aceh, North Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Flores, commands higher premiums in specialty channels but represents a fraction of total export volume.

Table: Indonesia Coffee Export Value by HS Code (Source: yTrade)

HS Code	Product Description	Value	Weight	Frequency	Value Share
090111	Coffee; not roasted or decaffeinated	3.00B	493.35M kg	13.93K	96.84%
090121	Coffee; roasted, not decaffeinated	96.15M	2.23M kg	1.38K	3.10%
090112	Coffee; decaffeinated, not roasted	1.80M	185.24K kg	192	0.06%
090122	Coffee; roasted, decaffeinated	141.13K	33.57K kg	82	0.00%
090190	Coffee husks, skins & substitutes	35.58K	19.10K kg	61	0.00%

The minimal share of roasted and processed coffee (3.1% combined) reflects a structural limitation, not a lack of opportunity. Indonesia's domestic specialty coffee scene has been growing rapidly — domestic consumption reached an estimated 4.8 million bags (288,000 tonnes) by the end of 2025, making Indonesia the world's fifth-largest coffee consumer. But the export side remains firmly anchored in green beans.

Top Countries Buying Coffee from Indonesia

Indonesia's coffee export network is remarkably diversified — no single market exceeds 18% of total value. This spread reduces concentration risk compared to origins like Colombia, where the U.S. alone absorbs a dominant share.

Green Coffee (HS 090111) — Top Destinations

• Czechia — $548.92M (17.7% value, 0.01% weight): The extreme value-to-weight ratio here stands out. Prague has emerged as a European specialty coffee distribution hub, and Czechia's position suggests premium, low-volume lots — possibly transshipment for broader Central European specialty roasters.
• United States — $337.01M (10.9% value, 11.4% weight): Balanced bulk purchasing. Indonesia is a significant supplier to both the U.S. mass-market segment (Robusta for blends and instant) and the growing specialty sector (Sumatra and Sulawesi single-origins).
• Belgium — $287.56M (9.3% value, 11.7% weight): Antwerp is one of Europe's major green coffee ports. Much of what lands in Belgium gets re-distributed to roasters across the EU.
• Germany — $235.68M (7.6% value, 10.5% weight): Europe's largest coffee roasting market. Germany hosts brands like Tchibo, Melitta, and Dallmayr, all of which use Indonesian Robusta in blends.
• Egypt — $185.15M (6.0% value, 8.2% weight): Signals growing demand from the Middle East and North Africa region. Egypt may also serve as a redistribution point for coffee entering the broader MENA market.

Roasted Coffee (HS 090121) — Top Destinations

Singapore dominates at $85.86M, functioning as a regional re-export hub. Timor-Leste ($4.06M), Malaysia ($2.03M), Hong Kong ($1.14M), and Taiwan ($974.72K) round out the list — all regional neighbors with proximity-driven demand.

Decaffeinated Coffee (HS 090112) — Top Destinations

The Philippines leads at $759.28K, likely driven by strong domestic instant coffee consumption and geographic proximity. The UAE ($271.39K) points to a gateway role for roasted Indonesian coffee entering GCC café cultures.

What does buyer behavior look like at the company level? That's where the picture gets even more concentrated.

Who Are the Top Importers of Indonesian Coffee?

Indonesia's coffee export market is dominated by multinational commodity trading houses with integrated supply chains — not by independent roasters buying direct. The top three buyers collectively accounted for a massive share of total value.

Table: Indonesia Coffee Beans (HS Code 0901) Top Buyers (Source: yTrade)

Buyer Company	Country	Value	Frequency	Weight
Louis Dreyfus Company Suisse SA	Switzerland	366.50M	708	75.49M kg
Olam International, Ltd	Singapore	268.49M	679	60.88M kg
Sucden Coffee Netherlands B.V	Netherlands	127.42M	340	30.50M kg

Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) — $366.50M

LDC is the single largest buyer of Indonesian coffee by value. The Swiss-headquartered trading house operates a Robusta processing plant and storage warehouse in Lampung, Southern Sumatra — right at the epicenter of Indonesia's Robusta belt. LDC works directly with over 20,000 coffee farmers across Lampung, South Sumatra, North Sumatra, and Aceh under its Stronger Coffee Initiative, with a global target of supporting 30,000 farmers. This vertically integrated model — from farm-gate origination to export — explains both the scale and frequency of LDC's purchases. LDC also recently acquired Brazilian instant coffee maker Cacique and operates a soluble coffee joint venture in Vietnam, signaling an expanding interest in value-added Indonesian Robusta beyond green beans.

Olam International (ofi) — $268.49M

Singapore-headquartered Olam has been present in Indonesia since 1996 and sources both coffee and cocoa. Its coffee operations span from Sumatra to Sulawesi, engaging over 60,000 cocoa and coffee farmers. In 2024, Olam's food ingredients division (ofi) launched the LASCARCOCO partnership — a $8.2 million initiative with USAID to promote sustainable coffee and cocoa agroforestry in Indonesia. Olam's Singapore base makes it a natural hub for re-exporting Indonesian green beans into Asia-Pacific markets.

Sucden Coffee Netherlands B.V — $127.42M

Sucden (Sucres et Denrées) routes its Indonesian coffee through the Netherlands — consistent with Belgium and the Netherlands being Europe's primary green coffee entry points. Sucden's Amsterdam and Rotterdam operations feed into the broader EU roasting ecosystem.

What This Buyer Structure Means

Repeat, large-volume buyers drove the overwhelming majority of Indonesia's coffee export value. Frequent small-ticket buyers accounted for just 0.4%. The remaining activity is split between infrequent bulk buyers and occasional one-off purchasers. For anyone looking to sell Indonesian coffee at scale, the priority is retention and logistics readiness for these core accounts — documentation, EUDR compliance, and consistent quality assurance matter more than volume prospecting.

Indonesia Coffee Export Outlook 2026

Indonesia's coffee export trajectory into 2026 is shaped by three converging forces: a global price rally, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance timeline, and a newly signed U.S.-Indonesia trade agreement. Each carries distinct implications for value, volume, and buyer composition.

1. Global Coffee Prices Remain Structurally Elevated

The ICO composite indicator averaged 326.38 US cents/lb in October 2025 and climbed higher through Q4, reaching near 30-year highs. Brazil's combined Arabica and Robusta harvest is forecast by the USDA to decline 2.0 million bags to 63.0 million due to drought and high temperatures in key growing states. With global consumption continuing to rise to a record 173.9 million bags and ending stocks expected to drop for a fifth consecutive year, the price environment remains supportive for Indonesian exporters — particularly for Robusta, where Indonesia and Vietnam are the primary swing suppliers.

However, Robusta prices face some downside if Vietnam's 2025/26 harvest recovers as expected, which would increase global supply and potentially pressure Indonesian Robusta margins.

2. EUDR Compliance: A Structural Filter for EU Market Access

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) has been delayed to 30 December 2026 for large operators and 30 June 2027 for small enterprises. The regulation requires full traceability of coffee to plot-level geolocation for all EU-bound shipments.

Belgium (9.3%), Germany (7.6%), and Czechia (17.7%) — Indonesia's three largest EU destinations — are all directly affected. Combined, these markets represent roughly 35% of Indonesia's total coffee export value. Indonesia's smallholder-dominated coffee sector — over 95% of farms are under one hectare — faces significant traceability challenges. Trading houses like LDC and Olam, which already operate farmer engagement programs with plot-level mapping, are better positioned to offer EUDR-compliant lots. Exporters without certified supply chains (Rainforest Alliance, 4C) risk losing access to EU buyers or being forced to redirect volume to non-EU markets.

3. U.S.-Indonesia Trade Agreement: Coffee Enters Duty-Free

The U.S.-Indonesia Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART), signed February 19, 2026, grants Indonesian coffee a 0% reciprocal tariff for entry into the U.S. market. This is a notable exemption — while the base reciprocal rate for Indonesian goods is 19%, agricultural commodities including coffee, cocoa, palm oil, and tea received explicit zero-duty treatment.

With the United States accounting for 10.9% of Indonesia's coffee export value ($337M), this duty-free status removes one potential friction point and may support increased U.S.-bound shipments in 2026, particularly as U.S. roasters look to diversify sourcing amid tightening Brazilian supply.

4. Emerging Demand: China and the Middle East

Indonesia's domestic coffee consumption has grown to roughly 4.8 million bags — making it the world's fifth-largest coffee consumer behind the EU, U.S., Brazil, and Japan. But emerging export demand is also coming from outside traditional markets. China's specialty coffee segment continues rapid expansion, and Egypt's 6.0% share of Indonesia's 2025 exports reflects broader Middle East consumption growth. Saudi Arabia and the UAE remain underpenetrated markets for Indonesian-origin coffee — both are likely targets for commodity traders like LDC and Olam in 2026.
