Introduction:

To the west of Colombia is the Andes, which is divided into three parts: the western, central and eastern mountains. The Cauca and Magdalena rivers flow along the Caribbean to the lowland plains.

Colombia, currently the world's third largest coffee producer, uses washing to treat Arabica coffee beans. It is also one of the largest producers of high-quality coffee in the world. Traditional deep-roasted coffee has a strong and memorable flavor. Coffee was first introduced to Colombia in 1808, when it was brought by a priest from French Antilles via Venezuela. Today, the country is the third largest coffee producer after Brazil and Vietnam, with an annual output of 12 million bags of 60 kg each, while Brazil produces 31 million bags a year. The status of coffee in Colombia can be seen in the following examples: all vehicles entering the country must be sprayed and sterilized so as not to inadvertently cause disease and damage coffee trees.

The main producing areas are Huila (San Augustin), Narino, Tolima, Popayan (Cauca), Valle de Cauca, Meta, Antioquia (Medellin), Magdelena (Sierra Nevada), Boyaca, Santander (Bucaramanga) and so on. About 700 million coffee trees are documented in Colombia, 66% of which are planted in modern plantations and the rest in small, traditionally run farms. The main varieties include Kaddura Caturra, Colombia Colombia, Tibica Tipica, Bourbon Bourbon, Elephant Bean Maragogype, and Tabi. Farms and cooperatives throughout the country, big or small, are distributed in more than 500000 municipalities and 14 major coffee-producing areas. A total of 2 million Colombians depend on coffee cultivation for a living, contributing 12.5 per cent to gross domestic product. High-end Colombian coffee beans grow in the Andes at an altitude of 1200m and 2000m, and are planted between banana trees and rubber trees to provide shade for coffee trees.

Colombian coffee farmers can sell all their products to the Coffee Management Association at an official low price or to exporters, who may offer higher prices. In fact, the Coffee Management Association controls overall exports to Europe, while coffee to the United States is mainly exported through private exporters, however, all exports are controlled by the lowest export price.

Narino province is located in the southwest of Colombia, the whole territory is located in the highest region of Colombia, the provincial capital San Juan de Pasto borders Ecuador (Ecuador) and faces the Pacific Ocean. Coffee cultivation is a very important economic pillar for Na Linglong province, where traditionally the planting area of small coffee farmers is less than one hectare.

Most of the coffee growing areas in the province are alpine terrain belonging to the Andes, remote mountains, steep mountains, blown by the Pacific sea breeze, the provincial capital San Juan de Pasto. At the same time, Narino province is also one of the important coffee producing areas in Colombia. although its planting area is the smallest of the 14 large producing areas, the whole territory has the natural environmental conditions of special valley microclimate, so the coffee produced is of the best quality and has been known as the "Holy Grail of the Pope" since ancient times. Near the Ecuadorian border, the raw beans planted on the cloud belt at an altitude of about 1600 Murray 2300 meters have excellent environment, fertile soil, careful and complicated harvesting and treatment procedures, and extremely high quality.
