- Unroasted Coffee
- Unroasted coffee inventory increased significantly from 664,700 thousand US dollars in 2020 to a peak of 1,018,600 thousand US dollars in 2022. Subsequently, it declined sharply in 2023 to 747,700 thousand US dollars, dipped further in 2024 to 665,100 thousand US dollars, and then rose again in 2025 to 911,200 thousand US dollars. This pattern suggests periods of accumulation followed by drawdowns, likely reflecting supply chain adjustments or demand fluctuations.
- Roasted Coffee
- Roasted coffee inventory demonstrated a steady upward trend from 223,500 thousand US dollars in 2020 to 310,300 thousand US dollars in 2022. After a slight decrease to 280,300 thousand US dollars in 2023 and further to 251,900 thousand US dollars in 2024, it increased notably in 2025, reaching 342,000 thousand US dollars. This indicates some variability but general growth in roasted coffee stock levels over time, possibly correlating with demand and production changes.
