The History of Brazilian Coffee Story

The Brazilian coffee story began in the 1720s when Francesco Paletta, a Portuguese captain from Brazil who was introduced from French Guiana, captured the heart of the then governor's wife in Cayenne, the capital of French Guinea. successfully brought coffee seeds to Brazil. Since then, coffee has adapted rapidly in Brazil, spreading from the north to the southeastern state of Sao Paulo. By 1845, Brazilian coffee beans accounted for 45% of the world's coffee beans and became the main source of income in the state of Sao Paulo.

With the development of coffee, Brazilian coffee is also very important in the world. Brazilian coffee beans provide nearly 45% of the world's coffee raw beans. The length of the country's dry season may even affect coffee prices around the world.

Before 1990, the Brazilian government carried out strict monitoring of the coffee industry, with both strict intervention and price protection measures, and the state has been implementing a minimum price protection policy for farmers, resulting in coffee overproduction. By the beginning of the 21 century, due to the lack of global regulation, world coffee production was much higher than consumption, and the country hardest hit was the giant Brazil. The collapse of the European coffee market in 1940 almost destroyed Brazil's coffee industry, and the United States realized that if the Brazilian economy collapsed and the pro-American government collapsed, Brazil would fall to the fascist regime. So Brazil decisively bought all the unsold coffee beans from 1941 to 1943 to solve the crisis, and Brazil finally got by.

Finally, under the pressure of the global coffee crisis, the World Coffee Agreement was born. This agreement, signed by more than 60 countries that produce and consume coffee, limits the number of coffee imports and exports of producing and consuming countries through the quota system, stabilizes coffee prices, and finally ushered in the longest stable period for dozens of coffee producing countries, including Brazil. However, the good times did not last long. Brazil announced its withdrawal from the World Coffee Agreement in 1989, when the Cold War ended. The coffee crisis is still the culprit leading to the poverty and backwardness of most of the world's coffee-producing countries.

Brazilian coffee beans are characterized by mellow taste and rich flavor of nut chocolate.
