Indonesia's coffee exports totaled 239,540 bags in March, maintaining the trend of reduced shipments observed since the beginning of 2026, according to data released this Monday (4) by the local trade office. The volume represents a 59.47% drop compared to the previous year and was 36.98% below the average of the last five years for the period. The result also marks a new five-year low for March, being 7.18% below the previous lowest level, recorded in March 2023, when the country shipped around 258,000 bags. The performance contrasts with the pace observed throughout 2025, when Indonesia recorded ten five-year monthly export records. During that period, shipments remained strong, with historically high volumes, especially between August and October. According to analysis by DATAGROThe recent downturn indicates a temporary depletion of export flows, following the strong performance of the previous year. The expectation is for a gradual recovery in shipments throughout the second half of the year, following the progress of the harvest—a typical movement in the country's production calendar.
