Ecuador, which is located between Colombia and Peru in South America, has a long history of coffee cultivation. The Loha region is located in the south of Ecuador, close to the Andes Mountains, and is one of the highest coffee-growing regions in the world. It is also an important coffee export city in the country. Most of the natural planting is shaded by trees, and the local high altitude, climate change and soil quality are very suitable for coffee growth, and there are many excellent planting conditions for growing coffee.

Coffee farmers in the region still grow traditional varieties of coffee, such as Tibika, Katura and bourbon, which is also the key to their success. Leaf rust has always been the biggest headache for these coffee farmers. coupled with the relationship between organic certification, the products that can be used to deal with leaf rust have been greatly restricted, making the problem even more thorny. The climate of this area has its own style, very special, humid throughout the year, the temperature change is suitable, about 12-28 degrees Celsius, the average temperature of 20 degrees, such a climate is very suitable for growing coffee, which is also reflected in the flavor of coffee.

Coffee farmers in southern Ecuador own an average of 1.5 hectares of small farms per person, while there are more large farms in the north. The southern region is mostly organic farms and produces a wide variety of products, including flowers, corn, kale, bananas, bees, cattle, fish, fruit and coffee. At present, the most difficult challenge for coffee farmers is leaf embroidery disease, which has reduced Colombia's coffee production by 50% in recent years. The easiest way to eliminate leaf embroidery is to use chemicals, but coffee farmers treat it in an organic but difficult way for the sake of environmental protection. in addition, in Ecuador, there is a lack of plant nutrients because of the lack of fertilization. this also affects the quality of coffee and the growth of coffee inner shell and raw beans. The northern part of the region is large, with an average of about 15 hectares or more, cultivated with traditional fertilizers and fully developed; the area is lush and very humid, coupled with warm summers and conditions are perfect for growing coffee; it is a very interesting place with ancient local aboriginal graveyards, vineyards and experimental variety farms run by NESPRESSO.
