Thailand is a coffee nation, ranked fourth (after Vietnam, Indonesia and
India) in Asia in annual raw coffee production.
While there are many species of coffee trees in the world, only
Arabica and Robusta have major economic significance, both of
which are grown in Thailand.
At present, Thailand produces approximately:
|
|
|
- 50,000 - 80,000 tons of Robusta
coffee, of which 40% (ca. 30,000 tons) are processed
locally and about 60% (ca. 50,000 tons) is exported.
- A few thousand tons of Arabica
coffee, which are almost entirely processed locally.
