What are the opportunities on the Spanish coffee market? Our report on exporting coffee to the Spanish market, which we wrote on behalf of CBI, has been published. Spain is Europe’s fourth-largest import market for green coffee, with 81% sourced directly from producing countries. Although Spain has traditionally been a market with a high demand for lower-quality beans, it is slowly changing and moving closer to coffee trends in Northern Europe. Rising incomes and increasing awareness of health and sustainability are driving these changes. Spain is also Europe’s largest market for decaffeinated coffee, and the demand for certified and specialty coffee is growing.
