Abstract
This article presents the world coffee market, coffee production in the developing countries, and international trade in coffee. The research concerns the leading countries of coffee beans production, the main importers and processors of coffee, and levels of production and trade of coffee in separate periods. The article also presents the main countries behind re-export of coffee beans. The analysis shows the increasing price difference between grains sold in the exporting countries and markets where coffee processing and consumption takes place. Issues of small- and medium-sized agricultural producers and their dependence on the price of grains, were pointed out, especially in African countries. The article shows the role of Poland in the international grain coffee trade.
