Following the record-breaking success of its 2025 auction, next year’s World of Coffee Dubai will feature three auctions under the Dubai Coffee Auction by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC).
The expanded programme, taking place from 18 – 20 January at Dubai World Trade Centre, will feature different facets of the industry, including an auction of exclusive limited edition coffee equipment; top-graded specialty micro-lots sourced from farms in countries such as Panama, Colombia and Ethiopia; and signature selections from roasters and producers exhibiting at World of Coffee Dubai.
The Dubai government says the three auctions introduce an elevated level of transparency, innovation, and market access for producers and buyers alike, with buyers able to join remotely with full access to verified, detailed data for every lot on auction.
“Last year’s inaugural Dubai Coffee Auction set a new benchmark for the industry, with micro-lots exceeding USD 10,000 per kilogram and setting record prices on the global stage,” says Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC.
The auctions come as the UAE continues to expand its coffee market, currently valued at more than USD 3.5 billion and projected to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2029.
Applications are now open for exhibitors wishing to submit coffee equipment or premium coffee lots for the 2026 auctions.
