    Sourced statistical reference point: FAOSTAT production, reading of the series and documentary limits. Region: Asia.

    Taiwan was missing from the atlas although FAOSTAT still records a production of green coffee there. This page includes it without inventing a terroir profile for it. It establishes the statistical presence and shows the available series.

    This profile level is deliberately more sober than the editorial dossiers. It does not allow deducing species, varieties, processes, quality or exported volumes.

    Trend as declared or estimated by FAOSTAT, in tonnes of green coffee. Hollow point: the latest value is imputed by FAOSTAT, not reported by the country. A break may come from the field, but also from the statistical method.

    History

    The first positive value kept in this series dates from 1961. This reference point dates neither the introduction of the coffee plant nor the real start of its cultivation. It only indicates the observable start in this dataset.

    FAOSTAT, Production: Crops and livestock products, item Coffee, green, code 656, element Production, code 5510.

    Today

    The most recent value is about 950 tonnes for 2024. FAOSTAT describes it as a “value imputed by the receiving agency”. This status is essential: an imputed value must not be read as a field census.

    Gray areas

    • The series does not distinguish here between arabica, canephora and other species.
    • It does not say what share is exported, consumed locally or lost.
    • It is not enough to tell the story of the producers, the territories and the political history of the sector.
