Indonesia’s 2024/25 coffee production is expected to bounce back from a down year to 10.9 million 60-kilogram bags, thanks to favorable weather conditions.

Meanwhile, domestic consumption in Indonesia is expected to rise significantly to 4.8 million bags, which is largely attributed to stable economic growth and a growing market for different types of roasted coffees and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages.

These and other issues are outlined in the new USDA Foreign Agriculture Service annual report on the Indonesia coffee sector.

Production Forecast

Indonesia’s coffee production for 2024/25 is now forecast at 10.9 million 60-kilo bags, showing partial recovery from severe weather in 2023/24, particularly in robusta-producing areas.
Improved yields are expected in both lowland and highland areas, with favorable weather in northern Sumatra likely boosting arabica crop yields for 2024/25, the report states.
The El Niño-induced drought has delayed the southern Sumatra harvest to May-June 2024, and the FAS office now expects shipments to peak in September-October 2024.
