India’s Coffee Exports Hit Record $1.14 Billion in FY24
India’s coffee exports have reached a remarkable milestone, achieving a record $1.14 billion between April and November of FY24, marking a 29% increase from the same period last year. The growth has been fueled by rising global demand for Robusta coffee and supply chain challenges faced by major coffee-producing nations like Brazil and Vietnam. India’s high-quality coffee, primarily from Karnataka, has carved a niche in premium global markets, further driving this surge.
