Cuba, located in the Caribbean, is an island country under communist rule, and its capital is Havana. Cuba is famous not only for its snow-white beaches and cigar tobacco, but also for its excellent coffee. Cuba has a long history of growing coffee, and Jos é Antonio Gelabert introduced the first coffee factory to Cuba in 1748. In 1791, when slavery was abolished during the Haitian revolution, French colonists fled to Cuba, bringing better methods of coffee production to Cuba. Before the era of Castro, Cuba's coffee industry boomed, and coffee beans were once Cuba's number one export, with more "sugar" than life's necessities. In the mid-1950s, Cuba exported more than 20000 metric tons (22046 short tons) of coffee beans a year, all of which were sold at high prices, with most of the coffee exported to Europe, especially the Netherlands and Germany. In the late 19th century, the price of local coffee plummeted because of government policies and the chaos of the international political situation, so farmers turned to plant other crops.
