European Union – Summary data
Austria
Population: 8.4 million.
2009 Net green bean imports: 512,000 bags; Brazil led with 32% followed by Vietnam with 21%.
Vietnam, Brazil, India, Colombia and Honduras, represented 71% of 2009 green bean imports.
Exports of processed coffee were around 399,000 bags (GBE) in 2007, against imports of 741,000 bags, mainly from Germany and Italy.
