The study brings to a focus, the growth and trade performances of Indian coffee. Secondary data on area, production, productivity and export of coffee were collected for the period of 1990-91 to 2017-18. Growth rate of area (2.39%) and production (2.24%) of Indian coffee has been increased over the study period. Coffee export in terms of quantity (3.91), value (9.73) and unit value (5.60) also registered a positive growth. The results of Coppock’s instability index revealed the existence of stability in the area (2.54%), production (9.51) and productivity (4.32%) of Indian coffee. The instability index for quantity, value and unit value realized from Indian coffee export was found to be 13.79%, 22.63% and 18.81% respectively. The results of Markov chain model found Italy, Poland, Russia, and Jordan as the loyal and stable market for Indian coffee. With the increasing global demand per se there is a huge scope for expanding the cultivation in non-traditional regions. Adoption of new technologies and initiatives on value chain is essential.
