The pie charts show a breakdown of the production and consumption of coffee in particular regions, and how the profits are distributed.
The initial impression from the charts is that whilst Central America is recorded to be the number one coffee producing region, it is Europe that consumed that highest amount of coffee. Additionally, the majority of the profit earned from this industry goes to the shippers.
As far as coffee production is concerned, 44% of coffee is produced in South America, making it the leading supplier of coffee world-wide. This is followed by Africa (19%), Asia (18%) and Central America (17%). Meanwhile, Oceania only constituted a modest 2% of the total coffee production. Regarding coffee consumption, Europeans appear to consume the most coffee, with the figure accounting for more than half. This is in marked contrast to the figures for North America and Japan at only around 10%. The remaining 27% belongs to other regions.
Profits made from the production, transport and sale of coffee are not evenly shared among the all those involved in the process. Shippers received as much as 55% of the profits, which is also the highest proportion of the profits. Sellers ranked second with 25%, while the remaining 20% is evenly divided between explorers and producers.
