CBI MARKET SURVEY: THE (ORGANIC) COFFEE, TEA AND COCOA MARKET IN THE NETHERLANDS CBI MARKET SURVEY THE (ORGANIC) COFFEE, TEA AND COCOA MARKET IN THE NETHERLANDS Publication date: May 2007 Report summary This CBI market survey discusses, amongst others, the following highlights for the (organic) coffee, tea and cocoa market in The Netherlands: • The Netherlands is a fairly big coffee consumer and, although recent developments have not been positive, in the future renewed growth is expected. • Tea consumption is relatively more limited and has a less favourable outlook, but does show an interesting shift towards herbal, fruit and green tea. • The Netherlands is the largest grinder in the world, and grindings are increasing by 3% annually. • The Netherlands is an important market for developing country producers of coffee as well as tea. The country occupies an important position in EU trade of coffee and to a lesser extent, for tea (imports as well as re-exports). Developing countries account for a considerable share of imports, especially for coffee. • As the principal entry point and processing location for cocoa beans from developing countries, and an important entry point for cocoa powder and paste, The Netherlands is among the most interesting countries for developing country producers. Imports are increasing, and the proportion of imports coming from developing countries is significantly above the EU average. This survey provides exporters of (organic) coffee, tea and cocoa with sector-specific market information related to gaining access to The Netherlands. By focusing on a specific country, this survey provides additional information, complementary to the more general information and data provided in the CBI market survey ‘The (organic) coffee, tea and cocoa market in the EU’, which covers the EU market in general.
