Abstract

Abstract: The work offers an exhaustive analysis of the elements that influence coffee consumption in countries that are large producers and exporters of this product, examining the reason why coffee production in exporting countries affects domestic consumption, which tends to decrease. due to the export priority they have, while in countries with a more deeply rooted coffee culture they allocate a good part of their production for domestic consumption. The relationship between production, export, domestic consumption, GDP, GDP per capita, population and the Human Development Index of the main coffee exporting countries is investigated, in order to determine the variables that are significant to explain the per capita consumption. It details the economic, social and cultural factors why, in countries with developed economies, especially in northern European countries, coffee consumption is high, while, in countries considered among the largest importers of coffee, such as In the United States and Japan, per capita consumption is low.
