Those declining coffee bean growing areas (2)

Brazil: the throne of danger

There is no doubt that without Brazil, the world's coffee production would have been reduced by a large part, accounting for 1/3 of global consumption. There is a wide variety of local coffee, but due to the government's simple pursuit of production, there are not many varieties of high-quality coffee. Brazil has a total of 21 states for the mass market, of which 17 produce coffee.

However, Brazil is also an area with a high incidence of natural disasters, although the acreage largely makes up for its impact on production, but in the event of serious local weather disasters, it will also cause great fluctuations in global coffee prices.

Jamaica: few but good

Although the planting area of coffee is not large in Jamaica, when it comes to the "Blue Mountain Coffee", which is mainly produced in Jamaica, everyone knows that this kind of coffee is recognized as the best coffee in the world. The ridge terrain of Jamaica, as well as the local cool weather, foggy, frequent precipitation environment, create the unique flavor of "Blue Mountain Coffee".

At the same time, the reason why it can maintain its place in the coffee bean industry is also related to the local business policy in Jamaica, where the local government does not continuously increase the output value like other coffee-producing countries, but pays more attention to quality. The coffee output of Jamaica is only a few thousandths of that of other coffee countries, which promotes both the quality and price of "Blue Mountain Coffee".

Colombia: all the time

Unlike other coffee-producing countries, which can only produce one season a year, Colombia can produce coffee continuously for a year because of its special geographical location, which has gradually raised the country's position in world coffee production. There was a poor harvest of coffee in Colombia last year, and annual production fell by 30%.

In addition to the "trouble" of the climate, it is also related to the local efforts to improve tree species and improve the quality of coffee. However, coffee cultivation in Colombia still retains the state of small-scale peasant economy, which is obviously not conducive to the long-term stability of production, thus at a disadvantage in the competitive landscape.
