Coffee, green
CPC v2.1 Code: 0161
About coffee, green
cpc code 0161 covers the production and trade of green, unroasted coffee beans. Coffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages and a major agricultural commodity, with a global market value estimated at over $100 billion annually. The coffee industry plays a significant role in the economies of many developing countries, providing employment and income for millions of smallholder farmers.
Production process
Green coffee beans are produced through a multi-step process that begins with the harvesting of coffee cherries. The cherries are then processed, either through the wet method (where the pulp is removed, and the beans are fermented and dried) or the dry method (where the cherries are dried with the pulp still intact). The dried beans are then hulled, polished, and sorted before being exported as green coffee.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the green coffee industry include land, labor, and agricultural equipment for cultivation and harvesting. Coffee plants require specific climatic conditions, such as moderate temperatures, adequate rainfall, and well-drained soil, which can limit production to certain regions. Processing the coffee cherries into green beans also requires specialized machinery, such as pulpers, fermentation tanks, and drying equipment.
Production outputs
The main output of cpc code 0161 is green, unroasted coffee beans, which are then consumed by 0162 Coffee, roasted and 0163 Coffee extracts and preparations industries to produce roasted coffee, coffee extracts, and other coffee-based products. Green coffee beans are also used as a raw material in the production of instant coffee and other coffee-derived products.
