In July 2020, the ICO composite indicator increased by 4.7% to an average of 103.66 US cents/lb, following three months of declines.

The majority of coffee continues to be exported as green coffee, accounting for 90.4% of total coffee shipped between October 2019 and June 2020. Soluble coffee shipments accounted for 9.1%, of the total, an increase of 1 percentage point from one year ago, while roasted coffee shipments represented just 0.5%. A 2.9% decrease in global production to 168.01 million bags has contributed to the lower volume of shipments. Find out more in the ICO's latest Coffee Market Report>>
