Russia Sets Record for Coffee Imports from Indonesia

Moscow, July 30, 2025 (Qahwa World) — Coffee imports from Indonesia to Russia surged nearly tenfold in the first five months of 2025, marking a new all-time high, according to data from Indonesia’s national statistics agency reported by RIA Novosti.

Between January and May, Indonesian companies exported $33.4 million worth of coffee to Russia — a dramatic increase from just $3.4 million during the same period in 2024. This surpassed the previous record set in 2017, when shipments totaled $27 million.

The bulk of the imports consisted of robusta coffee, which accounted for $33 million, while arabica coffee made up only $423,000.

Russia is now among the top 10 importers of Indonesian coffee, ranking ninth. The top three destinations were:

  • United States — $159.8 million

  • Belgium — $126.9 million

  • Egypt — $67.5 million

Meanwhile, arabica prices have been rising sharply. In July, futures jumped over 3.5%, reaching around $3 per pound, following reports that the U.S. is planning to impose 50% tariffs on all Brazilian imports — a move that has raised global supply concerns.

The global coffee market is still recovering from last year’s downturn caused by extreme weather conditions in major producing countries. According to David Oxley, Chief Climate and Commodities Economist at Capital Economics, a return to previous price levels could take several years due to the severe damage inflicted by prolonged droughts in key coffee-growing regions.
