About coffee, whether or not roasted or decaffeinated; husks and skins; coffee substitutes containing coffee in any proportion

HS code 0901 covers a wide range of coffee-related products, including raw, roasted, and decaffeinated coffee, as well as coffee husks, skins, and substitutes. This industry is of immense global significance, with coffee being one of the most widely traded commodities worldwide. The production and consumption of coffee are deeply intertwined with the economies and cultures of many countries, particularly in the developing world where a significant portion of the global coffee supply originates.

Production process

The production of coffee involves several key steps. First, coffee beans are harvested from the coffee plant, either manually or mechanically. The beans are then processed, which can involve methods such as wet processing (where the beans are soaked in water to remove the outer skin and pulp) or dry processing (where the beans are dried with the skin intact). After processing, the beans may be roasted to develop their distinctive flavor and aroma. Finally, the roasted beans can be ground and packaged for distribution and consumption.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the coffee industry include the coffee plant itself, which requires specific climatic conditions to thrive, as well as labor for harvesting and processing the beans. Other significant inputs include processing equipment, such as pulping machines, drying facilities, and roasting equipment. Transportation infrastructure, such as roads and ports, is also crucial for the efficient movement of coffee from production areas to global markets.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the coffee industry are roasted and ground coffee, as well as coffee husks and skins, which can be used for various purposes, such as in the production of 2101 Coffee and tea extracts, essences and concentrates, 2102 Yeasts and prepared baking powders, and 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included. The coffee industry also generates significant economic activity and employment in producing countries, contributing to their overall economic development.
