The International Coffee Organization launched a Coffee Market Intelligence Platform during the 142nd International Coffee Council session in Geneva. The free tool consolidates prices, trade flows, production, consumption and certified stocks data previously spread across multiple ICO sources, with full historical data reserved for members and subscribers.
The International Coffee Organization (ICO) has launched an interactive data platform that gives the public free access to global coffee market information spanning prices, trade, production, consumption and certified stocks. The new Coffee Market Intelligence Platform, announced during the 142nd Session of the International Coffee Council in Geneva, Switzerland, consolidates data that was previously spread across multiple ICO sources, both public and private. Users can explore dashboards, tables and an interactive 3D globe through a single interface.
The platform consolidates information the ICO previously distributed across separate publications and databases. Its public-facing features include the ICO Composite Indicator Price (I-CIP), New York arabica and London robusta futures prices, export and import flows, production and consumption figures, and exchange-certified stocks. A market overview dashboard combines several major indicators on one screen, including global production versus consumption and supply-and-demand balances.
A separate interactive globe lets users explore trade by origin, destination, coffee form, species and processing method. Additional dashboards provide country-level information and supply-and-demand trend analysis, according to the ICO’s announcement.
Access is tiered: the latest full year of data is free, while historical data and data extraction are available only to ICO members and subscribers. The platform draws primarily from the organization’s private statistical records, including member-reported trade data and ICO production and consumption estimates. The ICO, established in 1963, did not say whether the platform uses AI.
The ICO is the intergovernmental body behind some of the most widely cited production, trade and price statistics in the coffee industry, so consolidating its data into a free public tool lowers the barrier for researchers, traders, roasters and producing-country officials to work from the same numbers.
ICO Executive Director Vanúsia Nogueira framed the launch as a way to reduce uncertainty in a volatile market. “Good data cannot eliminate volatility, but it can reduce uncertainty,” Nogueira said in the launch announcement. “When stakeholders work from a shared and credible evidence base, they can make better decisions about production, investment, trade, risk management and sustainability.”
The launch also comes amid a wave of new public coffee data websites driven by AI that, as reported by Daily Coffee News, make sweeping promises about market intelligence but often lack useful data or a basic understanding of the coffee industry. The ICO platform’s credibility rests on its member-reported records rather than scraped or estimated data.
The ICO’s Membership and Reach
The ICO was established in 1963 and currently counts 49 members representing 75 countries. On the producing side, 42 exporting countries are members, including Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Indonesia and Ethiopia. Notable non-members on the producing side include Uganda and Guatemala.
On the consuming side, the ICO has seven importing members: the European Union, representing its 27 member states, plus Japan, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Tunisia and the UK. The most conspicuous absence is the United States, which withdrew from the International Coffee Agreement in 2018. Canada, China, South Korea and Australia are also outside the importing membership. Because trade data is member-reported, gaps in membership can affect the completeness of the platform’s underlying records.

What the Platform Does Not Cover
Several details remain unclear. The ICO did not say whether the platform runs on AI, according to Daily Coffee News. It is also not clear how frequently the data will be updated, how far the free tier’s dashboards go beyond the latest full year, or what subscription pricing will be for non-members seeking historical data and extraction tools.
Because the data comes largely from member-reported trade records and ICO estimates, coverage of non-member origins and destinations — such as Uganda, Guatemala and the United States — may be less complete, though the ICO has not detailed how these gaps are handled in the platform’s visualizations.
Adoption and Data Updates Ahead
The platform’s practical value will depend on adoption and continued data refreshes. Industry users are likely to test the free tier against existing sources such as exchange price feeds and private market reports in the coming months. Subscribers and ICO members will gain access to historical data and extraction capabilities, which could determine whether the tool becomes a standard reference for analysts.
The launch coincided with the 142nd Session of the International Coffee Council in Geneva, where the ICO typically addresses market outlooks and organizational priorities; further platform updates or membership changes may follow from the organization’s ongoing sessions.
