Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee plant. Coffee trees originated in Tanzania, Africa, and later spread to tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Types of coffee beans include Arabica (Coffea arabica), Robusta (Coffea canephora), and Liberica (Coffea liberica). According to CRI analysis, Arabica coffee bean production accounts for 60%-70% of the global coffee bean production, Robusta coffee bean production accounts for 30%-40% of the global coffee bean production, and Liberica coffee bean production accounts for less than 1% of the global coffee bean production.

Driven by consumption upgrades, sustainable development and the rise of emerging markets, the global coffee bean market has shown significant growth potential. According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), global coffee bean consumption will be approximately 10.17 million tons in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%. As the world's largest coffee consumption market, the EU will account for 25.68% of global consumption in 2023; the United States is closely behind, the world's second largest market, accounting for 16.04% of consumption. At the same time, coffee consumption in emerging markets such as Asia and the Middle East is growing rapidly, becoming an important growth engine for the global coffee market.

Coffee is one of Tanzania's main agricultural products. According to CRI analysis, coffee cultivation in Tanzania is mainly concentrated in Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Ruvuma and Mbeya, with Arabica and Robusta as the main varieties. The Kilimanjaro region is the largest coffee producing area in Tanzania. Its high altitude and fertile volcanic ash provide excellent conditions for growing coffee beans, which can produce a large number of high-quality coffee beans. Coffee beans are also an important export product of Tanzania. According to CRI data, the total value of Tanzania's coffee exports in 2024 reached US$239 million, a year-on-year increase of 15.2%.

According to CRI analysis, the main export destinations of Tanzanian coffee beans are Europe and the United States, such as Germany, Italy, the United States, the Netherlands, France and Belgium. According to CRI analysis, the top three export destinations of Tanzanian coffee beans from 2021 to 2024 are Germany, Japan and Italy, and the three countries together account for about 50% of the entire export market. According to CRI analysis, the companies that import coffee beans from Tanzania from 2021 to 2024 are mainly trading companies from various countries. The main exporters of Tanzanian coffee beans are mainly local trading companies.

Overall, the production and export volume of Tanzanian coffee beans are showing a trend of sustained growth. Tanzania is promoting the sustainable development of the coffee industry to meet the international market's demand for high-quality coffee. According to CRI, in the next few years, with the continued growth of global coffee demand and the improvement of Tanzanian coffee bean planting technology, Tanzania's coffee bean production and export volume are expected to further expand.
