Coffee: Sustained Rise in Global Demand Expected Until 2020

The International Coffee Organization estimates that global demand will reach 175 million sacks of 60 kilos in 2020, driven by the markets of China, South Korea and Russia.

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

The sophistication of consumers and a growing preference for coffee in markets such as South Korea, China and Russia will be part of the main factors driving the increase in demand for the grain in the coming years.

Roberio Oliveira Silva, Executive Director of the International Coffee Organization (ICO) told Larepublica.co that "... the increased demand means that the global coffee market will register a deficit in production of at least 800,000 sacks in the harvest year which began last month, although that could be partially offset by supplies from inventories in Brazil. "

In the case of China, Russia and South Korea, Oliveira said "... They are seeing more growth, of between 4% and 4.5% ... " while " ... traditional markets are growing by between 1% and 1.5%. "
