Global Organic Coffee Market Expected to Reach $12.6 Billion by 2026

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Organic Coffee Market by Type, Packaging Type and Sales Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019–2026," the global organic coffee market size was $6.8 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $12.6 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 8.2% from 2019 to 2026.

Organic coffee is widely accepted as environmentally friendly product. Organic farming minimizes the utilization of synthetic and artificial additives added to the soil. For organic farming compost mulch and natural fertilizers are used in place of artificial fertilizers. Moreover, conventional methods used for farming have been replaced by new and advanced eco-friendly techniques. This improves production efficiency and produces high quality organic coffee. In addition, advanced farming technologies minimize the production time and manpower. For instance, Bio-char based organic soil amendment technology (BIOSAT), a soil additive made of mixture of bio-char and various organic nutrients, improves soil fertility, maintains soil strength, increases crop production, and minimizes dependency on artificial fertilizers. Hence, improved eco-friendly farming techniques act as major drivers for the global organic coffee market growth.

The organic food and beverages industry is growing rapidly, which attracts companies to invest in the industry. Moreover, in recent years, several government organizations have also recognized significant growths registered by the organic foods market to come up with new policies to encourage contributors in the organic food sector. For instance, the Peru government has defined the coffee sector as a national priority and have implemented national renovation program with about $70 million budget, similarly, the government in India aids farmers who seek for loans and organic certification. Such government initiatives are expected to bolster production of organic coffee around the world.
