A producing country can still import for good reasons: to blend with local coffee, to process into instant products, to serve a re-export business or to supply particular grades not grown at home. Because the chapter also holds tea and spices, some of the $1.2B may reflect spices imported for processing. Ask an importer which part of the chapter it handles.
The chapter is 0.2% of India’s $697.7B imports and ranks 40th among its import chapters.
South Korea is above at $1.4B and Belgium below at $1.1B. India’s 1.8% share of reported world imports keeps it a clear step ahead of Belgium but behind the leading buyers. Mineral fuels at $217.9B, pearls and precious stones at $89.4B and electrical machinery at $83.5B dominate the bill.
