Bangladesh receives first shipment of Brazilian green coffee

Bangladesh on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026, received its first shipment of Brazilian green coffee beans, marking a new step in bilateral agrifood trade.

The arrival was accompanied by Brazil’s agricultural attaché in Dhaka, Silvio Testasecca, and was handled by North End Coffee Roasters, a company that currently operates 15 coffee shops across Bangladesh and runs a production, distribution and training center in the capital.

Instant coffee remains the most widely consumed product in the country. With the entry and broader availability of Brazilian green coffee, consumption is expected to increase, as the tariff applied is the same as that levied on shipments from Singapore — the source of roughly 70% of Bangladesh’s coffee imports to date.

Bangladesh’s coffee shop sector includes global chains and local brands such as Gloria Jean’s, Crimson Cup, Barcode Café, Columbus Coffee Shop, Barista, Coffee World and Café São Paulo.

Over the past year, Bangladesh imported more than $2.7 billion in Brazilian agrifood products, with shipments led by the sugar and ethanol complex, soybeans, grains, and corn-based flours and preparations.
