Taiwan: Growing demand in Taiwan Brews Opportunities for US Coffee

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TW2022-0052

Taiwan is the United States' sixth largest export market for food and agricultural products. With the highest GDP per capita in Eastern Asia, the island imported over US $30 million of coffee from the US in 2021. Taiwan has a high density of coffee shops providing everything from convenience store drip to high end specialty coffee. Consumers increasingly treat their coffee as an enjoyable experience rather than a simple drink. Unique flavors, environmental attributes, and small quantities are more important factors towards making purchase decisions, making U.S. coffee a perfect match for the market, particularly unroasted beans from Hawaii.
