Yemen is the first country in the world to mass-produce coffee as a crop.

The method of cultivation and treatment of mocha coffee in Yemen today is basically the same as that of hundreds of years ago.

On most coffee farms in Yemen, coffee farmers still resist the use of artificial chemicals such as chemical fertilizers.

Coffee farmers plant poplars to provide shade for coffee to grow.

Coffee trees are planted on steep terraces to maximize the use of less rainfall and limited land resources.

Yemeni mocha beans are still shipped in a bag made of straw, unlike chemical woven bags in other places.

Yemen is located in the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, exports coffee every year, coffee planting area is large, but also the origin of mocha coffee. Mocha is located in a port city on the Red Sea coast of Yemen, hence the name Mocha Coffee.

Coffee is one of Yemen's trade exports. Although Yemen is one of the driest areas in the world, there are many coffee farms in Yemen, and young Arabs run their own coffee farm companies. To travel to Yemen, you can turn to the coffee planting side terraces, coffee research institutes, coffee farms. Coffee not only promotes port trade, but also promotes the development of local cafes and restaurants.

Coffee beans are produced in many countries in the world, and there are also coffee trees in the south of the Arabian Peninsula. Coffee is also the second largest trade export after Yemeni crude oil exports. It is believed that coffee was first brought to Yemen and Egypt from Ethiopia, and then to markets such as Armenia, Persia, Turkey and North Africa in the mid-15th century, and then to the Italian, European and American markets.

The most common coffee beans grow on evergreen shrubs. After coffee beans are grown and mature, they are dried and crushed after picking and then boiled into coffee. Yemeni mocha coffee is exported through ports to Europe and around the world, boosting shipping trade.

Bani Matar is one of the coffee-growing areas in Yemen, and coffee production has increased according to the Yemeni agricultural sector. Exported to the Gulf and Saudi Arabia and other markets, but also exported to Japan, the United States, Canada, Russia, France, Italy, Germany, Turkey and other markets. Although Yemen is short of water resources, it grows the best coffee in the world. In the 16th century, Yemen earned income from coffee exports, and the Dutch were the first to bring mocha coffee to India, Persia and other markets.

Gradually exported to more and more markets, the high quality and high premium of Yemeni mocha coffee increased, and the demand for Yemeni mocha coffee increased in the British, French and Dutch markets in the 1750s, which contributed to the peak production of Yemeni coffee. A mocha coffee factory was established in the Netherlands, France also established a mocha factory in the 17th century, and Yemeni coffee was exported to more and more markets in Russia, Sudan, Suez and Istanbul.

The world needs more than 6 billion kilograms of coffee a year, and its income exceeds $12 billion. Arabica coffee looks like small coffee. Mocha coffee is exported to European markets or other markets through ports. Coffee exports have also become one of the Arab sources of income. Yemeni coffee dates back to more than 500 AD. After the 17th century, it was exported to more and more other markets with distinctive quality or taste. Unique flavor and excellent products are welcomed by the market.

Some research institutes in the UK or Europe have conducted research on coffee in markets such as Ethiopia and Yemen, studying the climatic conditions of coffee cultivation, coffee agricultural export trade, and so on. As coffee cultivation requires bioscience research such as certain climatic natural environment and genetic diversity of coffee number, in order to cope with global climate change and enhance the production of coffee commodities.

According to the Yemeni Ministry of Agriculture, in recent years, coffee production has been increased to 500000 tons, gradually promoted or expanded, coffee production helps to encourage Yemeni private sector investment, helps to improve rural living standards in Yemen, in production, sales and other aspects of innovation to reduce costs. Yemeni coffee is exported to Saudi Arabia, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and other markets. With the improvement of planting efficiency, the expansion of production increases profits.
