Name the ten countries that grow the most coffee, ranked by the size of the harvest in 60-kilogram bags, the unit the coffee trade uses.
Brazil alone grows about a third of the world's coffee. Vietnam, the home of robusta, grows most of the rest of the top two. After them the list runs through the Andes, the Horn of Africa, the East African highlands and Central America.

Start typing anywhere and the answer bar matches live.
Alternate names count, so "Brasil" and "Viet Nam" both score.

What counts in this quiz
Exactly 10 countries, ranked by the USDA estimate of the 2025/26 harvest.
The figures are green coffee, before roasting. One bag is 60 kilograms.
The order can change from year to year at the bottom of the list, where Peru, Mexico and Guatemala are close. The quiz follows the newest USDA report.
What's not included, and why
Coffee consumption is a different list. The biggest drinkers (the United States, Germany, Japan) grow almost none.
Jamaica, Kenya and Hawaii are famous for coffee and far outside the top ten by volume.
Good to know
Coffee grows only in the "bean belt" between the tropics. Every country in the quiz touches it.
Ethiopia is where the coffee plant comes from. Legend says a goatherd noticed his goats dancing after they ate the red cherries.
Vietnam grew almost no coffee before the 1990s. It is now the biggest robusta grower on Earth.
