Italy coffee industry strategy and market developments

Overview

Italy has launched an international strategy for the coffee sector titled ‘Development, Value, Partnerships.’ This initiative seeks to create a more sustainable and resilient supply chain through economic diplomacy and research. Key components include the ACT Coffee initiative, focused on transforming African supply chains in collaboration with UNIDO and the International Coffee Organization, and the Global Coffee Initiative, which works with the World Bank Group to mobilize investment.

Following this strategic unveiling, the 12th TriestEspresso Expo opened in Trieste, serving as an international hub for the espresso and coffee industrial supply chain with participants from 46 countries. Discussions at the expo highlighted global pressures on the value chain, such as climate change, rising energy and transport costs, and logistical tensions in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz. Market trends at the event indicated a shift toward specialty coffee and sustainability, noting a 33% increase in coffee bean sales within Italy during 2026.
