Antigua-Urias Farm, Guatemala

Antigua-Urias Farm in Guatemala

Coffee has helped Guatemala's economy in the past century. It is estimated that there are about 120000 coffee producers, accounting for 40% of agricultural exports. Among 22 provinces, as many as 20 provinces are engaged in coffee cultivation. Almost all areas grow coffee beans, 98% are shaded by trees, and are almost monopolized by Arabica beans. The main sub-varieties are Bourbon, Tipica, Caturra, Catua í, Pache and Pacamara. Guatemala, with its high altitude and 300 different microclimates, coupled with stable rainfall and fertile soil rich in minerals, is the most ideal among Central American countries.

Since the early 1990s, Anacaf é has taken the lead according to the characteristics of coffee, growth climate, soil quality and altitude. Eight different producing areas for producing alpine hard beans (SHB) are: Ekat Nango Valley (the Acatenango valley), Antigua (Antigua), Attila (Atitl á n), Coban Rain Forest (Coban á n), Farrakhan Nice Plain (the Fraijanes plateau), Vivetta Nango (Huehuetenango), New Oriental (Nuevo Oriente) and San Marcos volcanic area (San Marcos). The main harvest season is from December to March of the following year. Relatively high-altitude producing areas such as Vivette South fruit can be in April, as long as the harvest is completed, it will be shipped.
