Today
The Financial Express, February 21, 2021, citing the Department of Agricultural Extension and the BARI: national production of 55.75 t on 118.3 ha in 2019-2020, imports of green coffee of 32.5 t covering 95% of demand; in Bandarban district, 473 farmers on 122.9 ha and 56.25 t harvested the previous year, 104,589 plants. The two series do not overlap exactly (Bandarban alone exceeds the national total): different years or scopes, not elucidated. Absent from FAOSTAT.

- No annual series: impossible to say whether production is rising or falling.
- The source often describes a single farm or association, not a whole territory.
