According to Coffee consumption worldwide from 2012/13 to 2020/21 by Statista, our annual coffee beans consumption is hitting to ten million metric tons in 2020/21.
Different countries have different harvesting period of coffee berries, and the major period is between October and December. There is usually one harvesting period in a year, and in some countries as Columbia, they have also a secondary harvest, which is between April to June in the next year.
By our huge daily coffee consumption and limited harvesting period in 3 months or 6 months, it is not realistic for farmers collecting all coffee beans manually, but it is also not fully possible to collect all coffee beans by machines due to different terrain as uneven fields. Therefore, what does coffee farmers do? We will discover it tomorrow.
