Colombia is the third largest coffee producer in the world after Brazil and Vietnam, accounting for about 10% of the world's coffee output and 4% of its agricultural output. Most of the employed people in the country are engaged in coffee-related work, which is one of the important industries in Colombia. Although Colombia is the third largest coffee producer, it is obviously different from Brazil in that it has very few large estates.

Colombia, near the equator, has two coffee harvests a year, the main harvest and the second harvest. The main harvest period is from October to November or June to September, and the second harvest period is from October to November or April to May. In general, the main harvest period of coffee yield is higher, the quality is also high.

Colombian coffee is full of Arabica beans. Kaddura and mutant Colombia (a cross between Katim and Kaddura) are planted more, while Tippica and bourbon coffee trees are rarely planted. Kaduai is very resistant to rust and has a high yield, so the government encourages farmers to grow it, but it also reduces the aroma of Colombian coffee. Although Colombia belongs to the tropics, its climate varies greatly due to the differences in the height of the Andes. Areas with higher elevations are warmer and cooler.
