Few countries have a connection to coffee as deep as Colombia. It is not only one of the nation’s most recognised exports but also a vital part of its economy and cultural identity.
According to Forbes Colombia, coffee exports reached 5.4 billion dollars in the past twelve months, reaffirming the sector’s role as one of the country’s most important sources of income. The value of the harvest across 610 coffee-producing towns exceeded 22 trillion pesos, making coffee the largest non-mining contributor to the Colombian economy.
Colombia’s coffee landscape is immense, with more than 4 billion coffee trees planted nationwide. This scale keeps the country as the third-largest coffee producer globally, just behind Brazil and Vietnam. These figures are supported by a strong institutional framework led by the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros (FNC), which guarantees coffee farmers a minimum daily purchase price and helps protect the stability of rural communities.
Beyond the numbers, coffee is deeply woven into Colombian life. Ninety-nine percent of households buy coffee, and eight out of ten Colombians drink it every week, an average of six cups per person. It is a part of our mornings, our conversations and our sense of identity.
More than 120 countries recognise Colombian coffee as a benchmark of quality and reliability, with the United States, Germany, Canada, Belgium and Japan among its main importers.
