Ethiopia Earns $1.16 Billion From Coffee Exports

July Through October Export Results

Ethiopia earned $1.16 billion from coffee exports between July and October 2026, the first four months of its 2026/27 fiscal year. The Ethiopian News Agency reported the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority’s figures on November 14. Exporters shipped 167,800 tons. Against the same period a year earlier, revenue rose by $157.2 million and volume increased by 24,600 tons.

Saudi Arabia, Germany and China Led the First Quarter

ECTA reported $878.52 million in coffee export receipts for July through September. That came to 85% of the authority’s first-quarter revenue target. Saudi Arabia, Germany and China led first-quarter earnings at $196.85 million, $136.69 million and $103 million respectively. The destination ranking covers July through September.

Buyer Perspective

The countrywide numbers show how much coffee was shipped and where first-quarter earnings were concentrated. Buyers planning a repeat order should ask for the volume available from the particular preparation and washing station they approved. A dated offer with the lot code, allocated bags, and shipment window gives a buyer something they can plan against.
