Green coffee refers to the raw, unroasted seeds of coffee cherries obtained from the coffee plant. These beans are processed (washed or dried) after harvesting but have not yet undergone roasting, preserving their natural green color and higher levels of certain bioactive compounds such as chlorogenic acids. The primary purpose of green coffee is to serve as the primary raw material for roasted coffee production in the global coffee industry.
The green coffee market consists of sales of green coffee by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that is used by a diverse group of stakeholders, including coffee roasters, food and beverage manufacturers, dietary supplement producers and pharmaceutical companies. It is typically utilized prior to roasting in the traditional coffee production process or processed into extracts for use in nutraceuticals, weight management products and functional foods. The demand for green coffee spans both industrial applications and direct consumption in processed forms such as capsules, powders and beverages.
The global green coffee market was valued at $29,825.7 million in 2020 which grew till 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 5.00%.
Favorable Government Support For Coffee Production

As governments in key coffee-producing countries increased their focus on improving agricultural productivity, strengthening farmer support systems, and enhancing overall coffee output, the implementation of large-scale funding programs and resource allocation initiatives increased significantly. For instance, in June 2024, Government of Tanzania planned to inject a further $370 million into the agricultural sector to support initiatives aimed at improving coffee production, also this funding is intended to provide farmers with essential tools and resources, while the government is also distributing approximately 20 million free coffee plants to local farmers to boost the production of Arabica and other coffee varieties. Therefore, the green coffee market was driven by favorable government support for coffee production during the historic period.

These financial investments combine sustainability-linked loans, impact-driven capital allocation and regenerative agriculture funding models. For instance, in November 2024, Green Coffee Company, a Colombia-based vertically integrated coffee producer specializing in cultivation, processing and export of green coffee, secured $8 million in sustainable debt financing from BBVA.
