Coffee growing area of Africa

It is said that Ethiopia is the hometown of coffee trees. A shepherd named Caldy noticed that his sheep were full of energy when they ate a little red berries. Out of curiosity, he tasted some himself and was soon convinced that he had found a valuable source of energy.

Ethiopia is the first coffee growing region in Africa (and the first consumer). Production of up to 860 million pounds, still dominated by manual cultivation and drying, is strictly regulated by coffee and tea authorities to avoid market concentration.

Interestingly, Ethiopia's neighboring Kenya was introduced to the coffee industry by Father Holy Spirit of France in the early 19th century. Although Kenya's coffee production may be considered secret, at only 51000 tons a year, it is a major player in the coffee industry and is popular all over the world.
