Coffee · importers
Spain ranks sixth of 96 at $2.2B in the coffee, tea and spices chapter, level with Japan and the United Kingdom, so the exact place matters less than the group.

Canada is above at $2.4B and Japan below at $2.2B, the same rounded value as Spain’s. The United Kingdom sits right behind at the same level. Spain’s 3.3% share of reported world imports cannot be separated from theirs, so the sensible way to read this is that Spain, Japan and the UK form a band.
The chapter is 0.5% of Spain’s $451.3B imports and ranks 39th among its import chapters.
In Spain, coffee is consumed heavily in bars and cafes, so the hospitality sector is a major buyer. Roasters serving hospitality customers often care about bean blends that hold up in milk-based drinks, steady supply through the tourist season, and prices that can be locked in for months.
Ask the importer how its volume moves through the year, since demand near coastal resorts differs from that in inland cities. A roaster serving both may want a smaller lot in the off-season and a larger one before summer, so flexible shipment schedules can be a real selling point for an exporter.
Germany, China, France and Italy lead Spain’s overall source list, which covers every product and does not show coffee origins. Coffee-heading shipment data shows which origins reach Spanish ports.
The $2.2B combines coffee, tea, mate and spices, so coffee is only part. Because the top ranks are tightly packed, reporting differences between countries can reorder them.
