（经济观察）中国咖啡市场持续看涨 海南或成全球咖啡入华新通道(Economic Observation) The Chinese coffee market continues to rise, and Hainan may become a new channel for global coffee to enter China

中新社海口8月15日电 (记者 王晓斌 李宇凡)“中国庞大的消费群体，会引领咖啡产业重心向亚洲转移、向中国转移。”正在海口举办的2026海南国际咖啡博览会上，亚洲咖啡协会会长张宏作出上述判断。他认为，海南自贸港拥有独特的区位优势、开放的政策体系与深厚的咖啡文化底蕴，有望“成为辐射亚洲、连接全球的东方咖啡港”。

张宏介绍，亚洲拥有全球近六成人口，其咖啡消费增速是其他地区的4到5倍。他此前曾表示，中国咖啡终端市场年度消费规模已超2000亿元人民币，正以每年约20%的速度递增，增速约为世界平均水平的10倍。这个高速的复合增长率，至少还能维持5到10年。

这一判断，在咖啡豆主要出口国的贸易数据中得到印证。

作为阿拉比卡咖啡发源地的埃塞俄比亚，两年前在其咖啡出口目的地中，中国仅排名第七，到2024/25财年升至第五。而在2025/26财年，中国已跃居第三大出口市场，仅次于沙特阿拉伯和德国，对华出口咖啡达47836吨、出口额3.47亿美元，同比分别增长约40%和58%。

“中国咖啡文化的兴起，给埃塞俄比亚带来了很多新机会。”埃塞俄比亚驻华大使馆副馆长阿齐扎·盖莱塔说，这让埃塞俄比亚的咖啡原产地与中国的创新、创业精神以及消费者品位实现了更好连接。

哥伦比亚同样感受到中国市场热度。哥伦比亚驻华大使馆商务参赞奥斯卡·普拉塔告诉中新社记者，过去四年，中国进口哥伦比亚咖啡增长了约105%。

“哥伦比亚最重要的农产品就是咖啡，所以我在中国的工作很大一部分是和咖啡相关。”奥斯卡·普拉塔说，咖啡可以成为中哥两国开展农业科研、气候适应型农业、技术创新等多领域合作的重要平台。

目前全球咖啡进入中国市场的主要通道集中在上海等东部口岸，海南自贸港的独特政策正在开辟一条新通道。

自2025年起，未烘焙咖啡等品类被纳入海南自贸港原辅料“零关税”清单，企业进口咖啡生豆可免征关税、进口环节增值税和消费税；加工增值超30%(含)的产品经“二线”进入内地市场，还可免征进口关税。

奥斯卡·普拉塔对中新社记者说，他此行参加海南国际咖啡博览会的重要工作之一，正是了解相关政策细节，为哥伦比亚咖啡寻找进入中国市场的新登陆点。

Haikou, August 15th (Xinhua) -- "China's huge consumer group will lead the coffee industry to shift its focus to Asia and China," said Zhang Hong, President of the Asian Coffee Association, at the 2026 Hainan International Coffee Expo held in Haikou. He believes that Hainan Free Trade Port has unique geographical advantages, an open policy system, and a profound coffee culture, and is expected to become an Eastern coffee port that radiates Asia and connects the world.

Zhang Hong introduced that Asia has nearly 60% of the world's population, and its coffee consumption growth rate is 4 to 5 times that of other regions. He previously stated that the annual consumption scale of China's coffee terminal market has exceeded 200 billion yuan, and is increasing at a rate of about 20% per year, which is about 10 times the world average. This high-speed compound growth rate can be maintained for at least 5 to 10 years.

This judgment is confirmed in the trade data of major coffee bean exporting countries.

As the birthplace of Arabica coffee, Ethiopia ranked seventh among its coffee export destinations two years ago, but rose to fifth place in the 2024/25 fiscal year. In the fiscal year 2025/26, China has jumped to become the third largest export market, second only to Saudi Arabia and Germany. Its coffee exports to China reached 47836 tons, with an export value of 347 million US dollars, an increase of about 40% and 58% year-on-year, respectively.

The rise of Chinese coffee culture has brought many new opportunities to Ethiopia, "said Aziza Galetta, Deputy Director of the Ethiopian Embassy in China. This has better connected Ethiopia's coffee origin with China's innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and consumer taste.

Colombia also feels the heat of the Chinese market. Oscar Plata, Commercial Counsellor of the Embassy of Colombia in China, told China News Agency that in the past four years, China's imports of Colombian coffee have increased by about 105%.

The most important agricultural product in Colombia is coffee, so a large part of my work in China is related to coffee, "said Oscar Plata. Coffee can become an important platform for cooperation between China and Colombia in various fields such as agricultural research, climate adaptive agriculture, and technological innovation.

At present, the main channels for global coffee to enter the Chinese market are concentrated in eastern ports such as Shanghai, and the unique policies of Hainan Free Trade Port are opening up a new channel.

Starting from 2025, categories such as unbaked coffee will be included in the "zero tariff" list of raw materials for Hainan Free Trade Port. Enterprises importing coffee beans will be exempt from tariffs, import value-added tax, and consumption tax; Products with a processing value-added of over 30% (inclusive) entering the mainland market through the "second tier" can also be exempted from import tariffs.

Oscar Plata told the China News Service reporter that one of the important tasks of his trip to participate in the Hainan International Coffee Expo is to understand the details of relevant policies and find new entry points for Colombian coffee into the Chinese market.

Zhang Hong said that the Asian Coffee Association plans to attract all member units to settle in Hainan Free Trade Port, rely on characteristic industry policies, improve the entire coffee industry chain, and promote the long-term development of the
