This serie of maps show that over decades, Southeast Asia increased its production and transformation capacities and demand for Cocoa and Coffee. On the particular case of green coffee, the maps allow to question if the global demographics are rebalancing the world agroindustry, or if they illustrate some de-industrialisation of Europe. This serie of maps gives also some insights for geopolitics, investment strategy, and research purposes.From a very minor-producing region in the seventies, Southeast Asia has become the second producing region in the world after Latin America. Vietnam and Indonesia are the main engines of the production that grew by 132% from 1991 to 2001, by 26% from 2001 to 2011, and by 35% from 2011 to 2021. There too, climate change, agronomic factors, and cocoa borer hamper the productivity. Southeast Asia has also emerged as the second region consuming green coffee after North America and before Western Europe. The share of exports to Europe is decreasing. Local transformation into roast beans absorbs most of the production. Southeast Asia has become the second region in the world to consume green coffee, which could also be the premises of an industrial reorganisation at the world scale, or, could just be the signature of a region that is growing fast and which middle classes adopt new patterns of consumption.
