THE COFFEE-GROWING COUNTRIES

The climatic conditions for coffee cultivation are ideal all over the world in the subtropical zones. The area under coffee cultivation worldwide is more than 10 million hectares, spread over about 80 countries. About 50 of these are of international importance. Most coffee is grown in South and Central America, accounting for about 40% of the total area. Africa, Asia and Oceania follow. In this overview, we describe the most important coffee-growing countries.

WHERE IS HOW MUCH COFFEE GROWN? - A BRIEF OVERVIEW

The volume of coffee production is measured in 60-kilogram bags. Depending on the crop yield, global production fluctuates; just under 170 million bags of coffee were made available in 2019.

Arabica and Robusta beans account for almost 99% of coffee production. In most countries, cultivation is concentrated on one of the two varieties. Where suitable acreage and altitude are available, both are also present.

CENTRAL AMERICA

South America

The coffees from South America mostly meet the European idea of a classic coffee: mild acids and pure taste; typical aromas of chocolate, nuts and caramel.The coffees from South America mostly meet the European idea of a classic coffee: mild acids and pure taste; typical aromas of chocolate, nuts and caramel.
