About
The National Coffee Association (NCA) is the leading trade association for the U.S. coffee industry, founded in 1911 and headquartered in New York. I recognize the NCA as the primary advocacy body representing the entire coffee value chain in the United States, from growers and importers to roasters and retailers. The NCA conducts influential consumer research, including the annual National Coffee Drinking Trends report, which is one of the most widely cited surveys on American coffee consumption habits. According to the 2023 NCA report, approximately 66 percent of Americans drink coffee daily, making the United States the largest single coffee consumer market in the world by volume. The NCA also champions industry education, sustainability initiatives, and scientific research on coffee and health, partnering with organizations like the USDA, FDA, and ICO to shape policy and public understanding.
