Guadeloupe I.

Guadeloupe? Where is it? I believe that most people, except those who are die-hard fans of the French national football team and Henry, do not know about this island or its specific location. Guadeloupe is an overseas department of France. Henry was born in Guadeloupe and later emigrated to France. Guadeloupe is located in the middle of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. The Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Caribbean Sea to the west, the Strait of Guadeloupe to the northwest and the Dominican Strait to the south are beautiful scenery and are very popular tourist resorts.

Is there coffee on this island? Yes, it is. However, compared to other coffee-producing countries, Guadeloupe's coffee production is insignificant. However, coffee on this island has a long history and a prosperous past.

Coffee in Guadeloupe originated in Martinique-a place that cannot be ignored in the history of coffee dissemination. Thanks to the excellent coffee varieties and superior island climate, coffee does grow rapidly on this island. In the 1790s or so, coffee farming flourished on the island, with hundreds of hectares planted and excellent coffee quality produced.

If it had continued like this, coffee in Guadeloupe would not have been as obscure as it is today. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ennis in 1996 did a lot of damage to coffee production here. In addition, the cultivation of cash crops such as sugar cane and bananas with relatively high benefits has reduced the coffee planting area here to only over 100 hectares. The original coffee farmers have come to work in cities to improve their poor lives. The coffee industry was not taken seriously by the government, and coffee farms near the city were converted into satellite cities. In Guadeloupe today, coffee plays only a small part in the economic life of the country. Coffee production boomed overnight.

The accumulation of long history plays a great role in the revival of a thing. As coffee grows in popularity around the world, coffee farming is slowly gaining more attention. Although the coffee industry in Guadeloupe is not prosperous enough, it has a prosperous foundation. I believe that the coffee industry in this island can reproduce its former glory in time.
