Coffee is one of the traditional agricultural products in Yemen, which has been famous all over the world for its unique flavor since ancient times. the origin of many coffees in the world is in Yemen, thanks to the special geographical location of Yemen. In Yemen, coffee grows mainly between 1000 and 1700 metres above sea level, and is grown everywhere from the plateau to high mountain terraces and valleys, particularly in the western mountains, where coffee trees are planted at a rate of 1000 to 1000 trees per hectare and coffee production rates are 300,600kg per hectare. Coffee from different regions has different qualities. In the past, Yemenis invested heavily in coffee cultivation and trade, and "mocha" coffee used to be the largest export at the port. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Yemeni coffee production was 7000 tons in 1997, 13000 tons in 2002 and 19000 tons in 2009, with an export value of 2.7 billion rials (about US $13.4 million).

Today, many cafes in Yemen are filled with a variety of modern drinks, many wealthy Yemenis also ignore national products, are not interested in traditional coffee, and even many former cafes no longer serve coffee. In addition, Carter, who has grown a lot in recent years, has also become the "natural enemy" of Yemeni coffee. The planting area of coffee is decreasing, while Carter trees are spread all over the country, mainly compared with coffee. Carter consumer groups in Yemen are huge, and for growers, it is much more profitable.
