Update on Coffee Figures

Last week I posted 2006 coffee-production figures from FAO, indicating that they were the most recent available. In one sense, this is still correct, since FAO counts production worldwide. A slightly different -- and more recent -- dataset is available from the International Coffee Organization (ICO), which is limited to exporting, member countries. I list the top 20 producers for 2010, according to that list. Browse the entire list for some interesting comparisons over the past five years (some of the ICO statistics are published in units of 1,000 bags, each bag weighing 132 pounds.)
