Coffee producing area-Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe

The Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe (Tome é and Principe), a volcanic archipelago, is the second smallest independent country in Africa and was once a Portuguese colony, which did not win independence until 1975. The equator crosses the archipelago, where the climate is hot and humid, the land is fertile, well irrigated and rich in coffee.

Arabica coffee trees were introduced from Brazil in 1800, and 98% of the products are still Arabica coffee. But only 1000 bags of coffee are exported each year, most of them to Scandinavia.
