In Which Countries Is Coffee Grown?
The tropical climate zones located between the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are the most ideal places for coffee cultivation. The region where coffee is grown requires regular rainfall and low temperature fluctuations.
In regions characterized by these tropical climates, coffee cultivation is considered a primary source of income. Coffee production, albeit small, is also carried out in various countries without this climate.
The Americas
South American countries account for the majority of coffee production. Coffee is also produced in other regions of the Americas. Coffee from Guatemala, Costa Rica, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico are prominent in this region.
Brazil alone accounts for 30% of global coffee production.
The African Continent
Africa, where coffee was discovered, also plays a significant role in coffee production. The African continent has varying climates, varying from region to region. While some regions are desertified, others are ideal for coffee cultivation. Countries such as Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, and Kenya have developed coffee production within the African continent.
African beans have a more fruity aroma.
Arabian Peninsula
Coffee was first consumed as a beverage in the Arabian Peninsula. Arabs were the discoverers of coffee, and therefore, they were involved in its production as well as its consumption. Yemen, synonymous with coffee, is the leading coffee producer in this region.
Asia-Pacific Region
The Asian continent also has coffee production, although its production is very limited. Indonesia is the largest coffee producer in Asia.
Despite frequent floods and floods in Indonesia, coffee plantations are frequently damaged, but a significant portion of the population continues to make a living from coffee production. Besides Indonesia, Vietnam is also a coffee-producing Asian country.
