Australia is above at $929.1M and Pakistan below at $861.3M. Malaysia’s 1.3% share of reported world imports is essentially the same as Pakistan’s, so the order is loose. The chapter is 0.3% of its $299.5B imports and ranks 39th among its import chapters.
Electrical machinery at $85.9B, fuels at $49.0B and industrial machinery at $38.9B lead the bill.
Malaysia has a substantial food-manufacturing industry that includes instant coffee mixes and packaged drinks sold across the region. Importers of coffee there may be processors buying green or bulk material, rather than roasters serving cafes. Ask about the intended end product, since a mix maker will focus on cost and consistency, and a cafe roaster on flavour.
Warm, humid storage conditions make packing and moisture control important. Ask the importer how long it stores green coffee and whether it uses air-conditioned warehouses, because a lot that will sit for months needs tighter moisture control than one that is roasted or processed within weeks of arrival, and that affects both packing and price.
China, Singapore, the USA and Japan lead the overall source list. Singapore’s presence points to a nearby trading centre, so ask whether the importer buys direct from origin or from a regional merchant.
The $880.3M combines coffee, tea, mate and spices, so coffee is only part. Reporter declarations and re-exports can affect the ranking.
