Coffee growers raise two species of coffee bean: Arabica and robusta. The former is more expensive, selling for 2.93 U.S. dollars per kilogram in 2018 and projected to increase in price to 4.8 U.S. dollars in 2026. Robusta, named because it can grow at a wider range of altitudes and temperatures, sold for 1.87 U.S. dollars in 2018, projected to sell at 3.9 U.S. dollars per kilogram in 2026. Coffee production Coffee originally comes from Ethiopia, where a significant portion of coffee production continues to take place. The more popular bean, Arabica, takes its name from the Arabian Empire, when coffee consumption spread throughout the Middle East. After overcoming its ban by the Catholic Church, who saw coffee as in intoxicant from the Muslim world, coffee sales per capita are highest in European countries. Major players Starbucks has shaped the modern coffee culture, capitalizing on the Seattle coffee shop scene. This opened gourmet coffee to a wider market, shifting the global demand from cheaper robusta to better-tasting Arabica varieties. This shift has influenced the world coffee market, prompting companies such as McDonalds to open McCafé stores to cater to the evolving tastes of global consumers.

Colombian Mild Arabicas remained the most expensive coffee per pound in 2019, though the trend has seen the price plummet from a 2011 high of 2.84 dollars to 1.34 dollars in 2019. Arabicas of all varieties commanded higher dollar values than their Robusta cousins.

Arabica and Robusta differences

Arabica and Robusta are the two most popular coffee varieties in the world. There are several important differences between the coffees. Robusta is originally from sub-Saharan Africa and is now primarily grown in Africa and Indonesia. Arabica, on the other hand, originated in the Ethiopian highlands and is now typically grown in South America and Africa. Another notable difference between the varieties is their amount of caffeine. Robusta contains nearly double the amount of caffeine of Arabica. Robusta also tolerates a wider range of climate conditions and produces a greater yield per hectare than Arabica. These are two factors which contribute to Arabica’s higher price.

Production and consumption

Due to its demand, over 101 million 60-kilogram bags of Arabica were produced worldwide in 2020. The less popular Robusta had a total production of 74.29 million 60-kilogram bags in the same year. Both varieties support the continually growing rate of coffee consumption. In 2020, 166.63 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee were consumed worldwide.

Discover the factors behind Vietnam's decreased coffee output, affecting global supply and leading to significant price increases in the robusta and arabica markets.

In the 2023/2024 coffee season, approximately 9.5 million 60kg bags of Robusta coffee were produced in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the world's leading coffee producers, and it exports most of the coffee beans it produces.

Robusta coffee dominates Indonesia’s coffee production Robusta plants grow well in lower altitudes and are more disease and pest-resistant, making them easier to plant and care for than Arabica coffee plants, which need more attention and higher altitudes. Hence, Robusta dominates Indonesia's total coffee production. Robusta beans in Indonesia are mostly used to produce instant coffee for domestic demand and for export. Most Robusta plantations are located in South Sumatra, Lampung, and Palembang provinces. In an attempt to increase the market price of its domestic Robusta coffee, many premium Robusta coffees are currently being produced in Indonesia.

Climate change impacts As most Indonesia's coffee plantations are smallholder estates, Robusta coffee is the main source of income for millions of smallholder farmers throughout Indonesia. However, climate change, along with declining coffee prices, are putting these smallholder farmers’ lives in jeopardy. Climate change reduces the volume and quality of coffee produced. Considering this outcome, the coffee-growing industry in Indonesia needs to introduce measures to adapt to these changes, such as investing in agricultural research and development.
