Ecuador, a member of the Union of South American Nations, is located in northwest South America, bordering Colombia in the north, Peru in the south and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Quito, the capital, is located in the foothills of Mount Picancha.

As we all know, Ecuador is one of the countries with the richest biodiversity in the world. There are more than 1500 species of birds in this country, which is about 1x6 of all birds in the world. Despite its small size, Ecuador actually has twice as many plant and animal species as the United States and Canada, four times as many as in Europe, and the largest plant species per unit area in the Americas. Unfortunately, the rate of deforestation is increasing at an alarming rate.

Coffee was introduced in Ecuador in the early 19th century and remained one of Ecuador's main export crops until the 1970s. Today, oil, shrimp and bananas are the most exported. )

The decline in coffee production in Ecuador began in the 1980s as acreage began to decline and coffee was often unharvested because of its own low prices. Coffee production began to decline sharply during the price crisis of the 1990s and early 2000s. Ecuador's economy is heavily dependent on oil and less dependent on agriculture than many other coffee-growing countries. Ecuador produces less than 1% of world coffee production. The income of coffee has decreased, especially during this period, the international price of coffee has been very low, often lower than the cost of production.

Coffee did not become a major commercial project in Ecuador until the late 1920s, when the cocoa industry was threatened by disease and coffee was still largely a successor to the national economy.

Coffee cultivation in Ecuador

The coffee-growing land of Ecuador is located in the western hills of the Andes south of Guayaquil and in the hills of the coastal province of Manabi. The low altitude area of Manabi, which is 500-700 meters above sea level, is the largest area of production in Arabica, producing about 50% of the country's. Some Robusta varieties, used for soluble (instant) coffee, are grown in the north of Ecuador. Most Ecuadorian coffee is grown on small farms covering an area of 1 to 10 hectares, about half of the coffee land is grown separately, while the rest is grown on cocoa, citrus fruits, bananas and mangoes.

One of the most interesting things that happened in Ecuador in Ecuadorian soil was the emergence of a new variety called Sidra. This is a mixture of bourbon and Tibica varieties, and the Sidra variety will show very unique fruit and flower flavor characteristics. After growing and carefully roasting at high altitudes, these coffees stand out on the cup table and are likely to bring Ecuador closer to professional coffee-producing countries.
