Yemen is the only country that grows coffee trees in a climate and environment different from that in other parts of the world. Yemenis still use the primitive method that their ancestors used to grow coffee. In addition, water scarcity is a very common phenomenon in Yemen, but the coffee produced by Yemeni farmers (known as Arabian coffee) is the best in the world.

Coffee is grown in most Yemeni provinces, the most famous of which are Bani Mater,Yafe'e,Haraz, Inner and Outer Haimateen, Bura'a, Bani Hammad, Amran and so on. In addition, Yemeni coffee comes in different sizes, shapes, names and types, depending on the region in which it grows. The most famous coffee in Yemen are: Materi, Yafe e Haimi, Harazi, Ismaili, Ahjuri, Mahweeti Bura'ai, Hammadi, Raimi, Wasabi, Anisi, Odaini, Sabri and Sa'adi.

The port of Mocha in Yemen is an important port leading to Europe, so the popularity of Mocha in Yemen has spread. The reason why Yemeni beans are rarely seen now is that at the end of 2015, the Yemeni president announced that the capital had been occupied by Houthi forces, followed by a blockade of Yemeni ports by multinational forces led by Saudi Arabia. since then, Yemeni coffee beans have been rarely shipped out in bulk and are still at war. Before the port blockade, the Yemeni mokamatari ordered by Qianjie coffee had to be shipped to Guangzhou from Yemen and Germany through the Central European special line, which was the last batch of Yemeni coffee beans. Subsequently, there have been a small number of Yemeni beans on the market, with a small quantity and a higher price.

The Yemeni Ministry of Agriculture has allocated about 33260 hectares of land for coffee cultivation. It grows in valleys with warm and humid climates and in terraces and mountains between 700 and 2400 kilometers above sea level.

Thousands of Yemeni families rely on coffee to increase their income; nearly 1 million people are involved in growing and exporting coffee. Yemeni coffee production increased in 2006, reaching 17292 tons according to official estimates. Total revenue from coffee exports in 2006 was 513,6772,000 yen. Despite all the obstacles, Yemeni coffee is the second commodity Yemen exports to the rest of the world, after oil. Yemeni coffee is exported to Gulf countries, Saudi Arabia, Japan, the United States, Canada, Russia, France, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Turkey and India.
