Hong Kong people drink about 150 cups of coffee per person per year (Nestlé market comparison, 2013).
Hong Kong imported 9.16 million kg of coffee (HS 0901) worth USD 74.2 million in 2023.
FAOSTAT reports an anomalously high 43.2 kg/capita for Hong Kong (2023) — likely distorted by re-export/trade-hub accounting.
