Ethiopia's Coffee Exports Surge 47% in First Quarter of 2025/26 Fiscal Year

Ethiopia's coffee export earnings rose sharply in the first three months of the 2025/26 fiscal year, generating USD 762.75 million, a 47% increase compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

According to data from the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority, the country had planned to export 151,969.41 tons of coffee and earn USD 622.5 million during the quarter. However, it achieved 113,542 tons, equivalent to 75% of the export volume target, while surpassing its revenue goal by earning 123% of the planned amount.

The higher earnings despite lower export volume were attributed to stronger global prices and a rise in value per ton, reflecting increased demand for Ethiopian specialty coffee.
