I was just looking up the world’s top producers for tea leaves. So it only makes sense to do the same for the other brew that I talk about on this site: coffee.

What are the top producing countries in the world for green coffee beans? I looked at the reporting from the Food And Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations, and this is what I found:

Ranking 2006 Production

1. Brazil 2,592,592 1 1,987,074
2. Viet Nam 853,500 2 793,700
3. Colombia 696,000 3 694,080
4. Indonesia 652,668 4 663,571

Coffee From Brazil

One third (32%) of the world’s green coffee beans was produced in Brazil in 2006. Viet Nam, Colombia and Indonesia together have another 28% of the coffee market.
