What Does The Coffee Supply Chain Look Like?

There’s a good chance your day started with a cappuccino, or a cold brew, and you aren’t alone. In fact, coffee is one of the most consumed drinks on the planet, and it’s also one of the most traded commodities.

Coffee from Plant to Factory

1. Growing

Plants take anywhere from 4-7 years to produce their first harvest, and grow fruit for around 25 years.

2. Picking

The fruit of the coffee plant is the coffee berry, containing two beans within. Ripened berries are harvested either by hand or machine.

2. Picking

The fruit of the coffee plant is the coffee berry, containing two beans within. Ripened berries are harvested either by hand or machine.

3. Processing

Coffee berries are then processed either in a traditional "dry" method using the sun or "wet" method using water and machinery. This removes the outer fruit encasing the sought-after green beans.

4. Milling

The green coffee beans are hulled, cleaned, sorted, and (optionally) graded.

Fom Factory to Transport

Once the coffee berry is stripped down to green beans, it's shipped from producing countries through a global supply network.Green coffee beans are exported and shipped around the world. In 2018 alone, 7.2 million tonnes of green coffee beans were exported, valued at $19.2 billion.

5. Roasting

Green beans are industrially roasted, becoming darker, oilier, and tasty. Different temperatures and heat duration impact the final color and flavor, with some preferring light roasts to dark roasts.

6. Packing

Any imperfect or somehow ruined beans are discarded, and the remaining roasted beans are packaged together by type.

7. Shipping

Roasted beans are shipped both domestically and internationally. Bulk shipments go to retailers, coffee shops, and in some cases, direct to consumer.
