exports by all exporting countries, making Indonesia the second largest soluble coffee exporting country after Brazil. In many exporting countries the
soluble coffee industry has shown accelerated development and the share of soluble coffee in exports of all forms of coffee has increased in recent years. In particular, Ecuador and Thailand have emerged as having a strong soluble coffee processing industry. India and Mexico have also increased substantially the share of soluble coffee in their exports of all forms of coffee.
Although Brazil is still the leading soluble coffee exporting country, its share of soluble coffee in exports of all forms of coffee continues to be around 11 per cent. However, it should be noted that tariff constraints are among the factors responsible for limiting Brazil’s exports of processed coffee to the European Union. Indeed, Brazil continues to fall under third country duty with a tariff of 9 per cent compared to 3.1 per cent tariff preference for other exporting countries.

processing more During the period from 1990 to 2011 the average value of exports of soluble coffee by exporting countries was US$769 million for a volume of 5.4 million bags. Soluble earnings increased during the period 2000 to 2011, averaging around US$930 million a year for a volume of 6.5 million bags compared with US$576 million for 4.1 million bags in the previous period. Export earnings for calendar year 2011 are estimated at US$1.8 billion for a volume of 10.5 million bags compared with US$574 million earned from exports of 4.7 million bags in 2000, an increase of 210.3 per cent. These increases are attributable to the improvement in world coffee prices. Considered in individual terms, a number of exporting countries recorded significant increases in their earnings from soluble coffee exports. Brazil recorded the highest earnings from exports of soluble coffee, which totalled US$653 million in 2011, an increase of 202.5 per cent in relation to its earnings in 2000, which totalled US$216 million. All leading exporting countries have recorded substantial earnings for their exports of soluble coffee for the period 2000 to 2011. However, earnings from exports of soluble coffee fell by 33.1 per cent in Côte d’Ivoire – from US$53 million in 2000 to US$35 million in 2011 – mainly on account of social unrest. Overall, there has been marked expansion in local soluble coffee

Ecuador and Thailand have emerged as having a strong soluble coffee processing
industry. India and Mexico have also increased substantially their share of soluble coffee
processing industries in some exporting countries, particularly Indonesia, Mexico, India and Ecuador, which have recorded high growth rates in the volume of soluble coffee exports. Recent developments since 2000 confirm the continued growth of soluble coffee exports by these countries, which have been joined by Thailand with a growth rate of 33.9 per cent.
The average annual volume of imports of soluble coffee by importing countries over the entire period covered by the
study was 12 million bags. The volume of imports increased to 15.5 million bags on average between 2000 and 2011 against 7.7 million bags during the period 1990 to 1999. It was 17.8 million bags in calendar year 2011 compared to 10.1 million bags in 2000. The Russian Federation is the leading soluble coffee importing country, with an annual average of 1.9 million bags, or 15.6 per cent of imports of soluble coffee by all importing countries over the period from 1990 to 2011. Imports by the US, the UK and Germany averaged 1.3 million bags, 873,000 bags and 703,000 bags, respectively.
The share of imports of soluble coffee in total imports of all forms of coffee by importing countries is relatively low, averaging 11.2 per cent for the period 1990 to 2011. This share has increased to 12.9 per cent annually since 2000. Imports of soluble coffee continue to account for a
