India maybe the seventh largest exporter of coffee but citizens still prefer chai! According to a recent survey, India isn’t even ranked among the top 20 coffee-drinking countries of the world.
In a survey published by the International Coffee Organisation (ICO), Finland took the top spot, consuming about 12kg of coffee per year. Norway, Iceland and Denmark occupied the second, third and fourth spots, respectively.
Most of India’s coffee production is done in the South. The country exports 767 million pounds to different countries every year, accounting for over four percent of the world coffee production.
Brazil remains the world’s biggest exporter of coffee. The country exports 5.7 billion pounds of coffee each year, according to the ICO. On the coffee consuming list Brazil is ranked 15th, consuming 5.5kg of coffee per year.
