Area harvested and yields

The world average yield was 0.90 t/ha in 2024.

Production, 2014–2024: +28%
Harvested area: +20%
Average yield: +6.8%
World area, 2024: 12.5 million ha

Most of the increase came from a larger harvested area rather than higher yields.

World area harvested, 1961–2024 (hectares)

Country	Yield, t/ha	vs world
China	3.6	+294%
Vietnam	3.0	+228%
Laos	1.9	+111%
Brazil	1.7	+93%

Mexico	0.3	−67%
Central African Republic	0.3	−62%
Venezuela	0.4	−61%

Among countries with at least 0.5% of world production. Yield = production ÷ harvested area; it depends on climate, varieties, irrigation and how the crop is counted, so it is not a measure of efficiency alone.

Production per person, 2024

World production of coffee, green was 1.38 kg per person in 2024. The highest figures, among countries with at least 1 million inhabitants:

#	Country	kg per person	Production
1	Central African Republic	61.0	324,923 t
2	Honduras	29.9	324,015 t

8	Costa Rica	12.1	62,154 t
9	Guinea	11.9	174,847 t
10	Peru	10.5	358,994 t

Production divided by population (FAOSTAT population estimates, 2024). Production per person is not consumption: countries export, import and use crops for feed, processing and industry.

About the data

Figures are production in tonnes as reported to or estimated by FAO for each calendar year; the latest year is 2024.
Letters next to a country mark figures that are not official national data: E estimated by FAO, I imputed by FAO (filled in by a statistical model), X taken from an external organisation. Treat them as approximate.
Shares are relative to the FAO world total; ten-year changes compare 2024 with 2014; yield is production divided by area harvested; average growth per year is the compound annual rate between the two years.
Country series on Husfarm start in 2000; the world series starts in 1961.
