The International Coffee Organization reports that global green-bean exports rose 6.3% year on year to 10.76 million 60-kg bags in July 2026. The increase was entirely driven by Robusta exports, which jumped 32.0% to 4.98 million bags, while total Arabica exports fell 8.9% to 5.78 million bags. Arabica’s share of cumulative green-bean exports in the first ten months of coffee year 2025/26 fell to 59.7%, from 63.6% a year earlier.
For buyers in Oman, Iran, the UAE and the wider GCC, the headline increase in global shipments should not be treated as broad relief across every coffee type. Robusta availability has improved faster, while prompt Arabica supply can remain comparatively tight. Recalculate blend economics by component, seek technically suitable Robusta alternatives from Viet Nam, Brazil and approved origins, and protect essential Arabica needs with verified physical offers and shipment slots. Confirm cup compatibility, grade, screen, defects, moisture, crop, freight and landed cost before changing a formulation. These export statistics are market indicators—not physical coffee offers.
