1. Introduction
Coffee is the world's most widely traded agricultural commodity. World coffee production estimate
for 2013/14 was 150.1 million of 60 kilogram bags and Ethiopia's coffee produce is estimated to
reach close to 400,000 tons representing above 4.2 percent of the world production. Coffee is
Ethiopia's main source of foreign exchange income accounting for 22 percent of the total gross export
in the economy in F/Y 2013/14.
During the coffee season 2013/14 F/Y, the Ministry of Trade had planned to export 277,500 metric
tons or 4.6 million bags of 60 kilos coffee generating over US$ 1.1 billion to the economy.
Ethiopia produces varieties of coffees that have rich original flavors and exports coffees of different
types & grades, namely Sidama, Djimmma, Lekempti, Harrar, Yirgacheffe, Limmu, Teppi, Ghimbi,
Keffa forest, Gemadro, Bebeka, Godere, Bench, Bale, Anderacha, Zege, Amaro, Arsi, Kochere,etc, and
with this special types of coffees Ethiopias coffees are highly valued by consumers in the importing
countries.
However, the country has not used its natural potential and much remains to be done to maximize
our coffee supply, and generate higher income likewise what other countries with a similar natural
endowment have been able to benefit much from the global coffee market. Although coffee is still the
dominant foreign exchange earner to the Ethiopian economy, the coffee sector when compared to
some of the other major coffee producing countries in Latin America and South East Asia has yet to
experience the same level of development and growth.
In this brief report, the export trading feature for the 2013/14 F/Y coffee season will be reviewed
where details will be provided on ECEA members and nonmembers export level, export value of each
exporter, twelve months average ICE price, our coffee export destination in the global market and the
names of Ethiopian coffee buyer. The paper is prepared to furnish useful information and data on
individual exporters export activity, the Ethiopian coffee market in the global coffee trade and our
trading partners.
Finally, the main aspects and features of the coffee export trading business of the year , issues and
matters that need to be considered over and took into in undertaking the coffee export business are
provided in the summary and conclusion section of the report.
The average yearly prices for the last four years (2010/2011-2013/14), therefore, indicate that the
Arabica Coffee prices in the international market has generally tended to decline making the coffee
price in the global market very unstable and unpredictable. This has made the coffee business risky
and difficult affecting coffee farmers, growers, suppliers, traders, exporters, etc in coffee producing
countries.
Total coffee exported during the twelve months period of 2013/14 F/Y (2006 Eth. F.Y) is provided in
the following table to observe the volume and value trend of each month coffee supply to the global
market.

tons in May 2014. The May shipment was the largest recorded shipment that accounted for

26,200 tons which was the second largest volume of coffee export for the year. There are

In total, the 88 members of the ECEA exporting 143,939 metric tons or 76 percent of the total export
volume generated US$ 552.3 million or 77.3 percent of the total export income. However, since there are
coffee exporters that are not members of the Association, out of 126 non-members exporters only 20
exporters accounted for 76 percent of the total value of non-members exported.
Coffee quantity exported and income earned by non-ECEA members is indicated below in table 4.

The 126 non-members coffee exporters , bigger than the 89 member exporters by 37, exported 45,714
metric tons or 22.68 percent of the total export volume generating US$ 162.0 million or 24.1 percent of
the total coffee export earnings.

non-members, but do export a considerably higher volume accounting for more than 77 percent of the
total coffee export income for the year.

During the year the coffees were exported to 50 countries in five continents of the world. As in
previous years, European countries share of Ethiopian coffee import accounted for 47 percent of
total coffee export volume taking a lion's share. Asia accounted for 32 percent and African countries
took 8.5 percent which when compared to last year was lower by 3.7 percent. American region
export was higher by 2 percent compared to last year which accounted for 11 percent in value
terms. Oceania, the fifth Continent, constituting Australia and New Zealand accounted for 2.8
percent of coffee export value. So, more market destinations need to be explored and an aggressive
marketing work or exercise should be undertaken by exporters to seize the opportunities in all
destination market, especially at this time where the global coffee demand is forecast to exceed the
global coffee supply because of the Brazilian drought that is thought to impact the country's
Arabica coffee production.
Regarding buyers, there
were 317 companies that bought the Ethiopian coffees. But, although their number is large, 50
buyers held a share of 82 percent from the total exports and the remaining 267 buyers took only 18
percent of total exports. In F/Y 2012/13 and 2013/2104, 20 buyers of the top Ethiopian coffee
buyers accounted for nearly 60 percent. So, there is a need to make concerted efforts by exporters
to find buyers that demand larger quantity with a better price. Also, the business relationship with
existing buyers needs to be strengthened and exporters should ensure their customers that they
would always meet or fulfill the obligations they entered in their coffee contract sales.
In total, exporters and other stakeholders, specially the Ministry of Trade, should evaluate the
domestic and the global coffee market situations carefully and ought to learn lessons from the
unstable world coffee market and trading business, trade in closely observing and understanding
the world coffee market situation. Exporters should also design new strategies and ways to
mitigate the impacts of the underlying coffee price volatility in remaining afloat in the coffee export
business. There is, therefore, a need for all actors in the coffee commodity value chain to examine
carefully the problems facing the coffee trading and export business, and take appropriate
measures and actions for the coffee sector to become sustainable and benefit more the farmers,
collectors, suppliers traders, exporters, growers and, of course, the economy.
