Haiti: a forgotten place

In 1725, Haiti, which faces the Caribbean to the south, officially began to grow coffee in the north. At one point, 60% of the coffee on the European market came from Haiti, which produced more of this agricultural product than the entire West Indies combined.

However, even in the final selection stage, Haiti does not distinguish between the quality of coffee beans on each farm, which are intermingled with the good and the bad.

At the beginning of the 19th century, with the independence of Haiti from France, the sales of agricultural products represented by coffee were all cut off, and the coffee production center immediately shifted on a large scale, and Central America, South America, Africa and other places became the focus. Haiti now produces and exports only about 600000 bags of coffee a year.

Yemen: the declining "aristocrat"

Yemen is the first country in the world to grow coffee on a large scale. When coffee arrived here in the early 6th century, the local people began to grow it as a cash crop on a large scale.

In Yemen, coffee is mainly produced in the western mountains, and the coffee produced here is collectively known as "mocha coffee" because it has historically been exported from the Yemeni port of Mocha.

It is a pity that the good times do not last long. In the face of political turmoil and unplanned cultivation, the production of mocha is very unstable, and the current shortage of water resources and soil, as well as the recovery cost of coffee itself, has also led to a continuous reduction in the acreage of coffee.
