Brazil is famous all over the world for its high quality and strong taste of coffee. It is the largest coffee producer and exporter in the world, and is known as the "coffee kingdom".

In the 19th century, coffee was grown almost all over the country, followed by a "coffee boom" that lasted nearly a century. The extensive cultivation of coffee has brought wealth and prosperity to Brazil. At the beginning of the 20th century, Brazil's coffee production accounted for more than 75% of the world's total output, thus winning the laudatory name of "coffee kingdom". Coffee is one of the important pillars of Brazil's national economy. There are 500000 coffee plantations, large and small, with a planting area of about 2.2 million hectares, a working population of more than 6 million, an annual output of about 2 million tons of coffee, and an annual export earnings of nearly 2 billion US dollars.
