INTRODUCTION India is one of the very few countries which produce both ARABICA & ROBUSTA in more or less equal quantities. An average of three hundred thousand tonnes of coffee equivalent to 5 million bags of 60 Kgs is produced a year in India in an area of about 3 hundred thousand hectares. Consuming about 55,000 to 60,000 tonnes (one million bags) domestically, India exports about 80% of its production of coffee to various countries all over the world. Indian Arabica is as good a ‘Mild’ as any other in the world and it is in demand all over the world. Indian Robusta is considered the best for espresso coffee blends. The international trade acknowledges it as one of the finest in the world.
