In addition to Kenya and Ethiopia, what other coffee-producing countries in Africa (center)

Africa is the second continent in the world, which is rich in mineral, hydraulic, agricultural and forestry resources. Africa is generally a plateau, with an average temperature of more than 20 ℃ in 3/4 of the region, which is very suitable for agricultural cultivation such as coffee.

Therefore, Africa has a number of countries to grow coffee, and the most famous are Ethiopia and Kenya, which are also the most common at home, in addition, there are Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, C ô te d'Ivoire, Zimbabwe, Angola and so on.

Burundi Burundi

Located in central Africa, south of the equator, Burundi is a country dominated by hills and mountains, mostly made up of the plateau on the eastern side of the Great Rift Valley, full of volcanoes, fertile land and the title of the Heart of Africa.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Belgian colonists introduced coffee to Burundi and began to grow coffee there. In 1962, Burundi got rid of Belgian rule, and the government took back the coffee industry and vigorously developed it. Coffee soon became an important part of the country's economy because of its superior geographical environment. But then the civil war broke out in Burundi, which led to a serious reduction in coffee production. After the end of the civil war, the coffee industry began to recover, and the government allowed private coffee washing plants to be set up. With the increase of coffee exports, it attracted international attention, and the coffee industry developed well with the funding of some world organizations.

At present, coffee is mainly grown in north-central Burundi, in five major producing areas of Cayanza, Kirimiro, Kirundo, Muyinga Muyinga and Ngozi Ngozi, mainly Arabica varieties such as Bourbon Bourbon, Kaddura Caturra, Kaduai Catuai and Jackson Jackson, with bright acidity and sweetness, full and balanced as a whole. The annual output of coffee is about 20 tons, which is mainly washed and exported to the European Union.

Cameroon Cameroon

Cameroon is located in west-central Africa, bordering on the Gulf of Guinea, is a land and sea country, the country's complex terrain, except for a small part of the coastal plain, mostly plateaus and mountains, and has many rivers and forests, volcanoes and abundant rainfall, it is very suitable for coffee growth.

In the 19th century, when Cameroon was a German colony, the Germans brought coffee to Cameroon and experimented with coffee in the southwest of the country, which later spread to the whole country. After that, it left Germany and became a French colony, and France also made great efforts to develop the local coffee industry, when coffee production reached 156000 tons. But then, in 1960, Cameroon's independence, national government policies and the global economic crisis led to a severe decline in production, which later developed with the help of Brazil and funded by the West African franc (FCFA).

At present, Cameroon mainly grows robusta coffee, which is grown in most parts of the country, and Arabica varieties such as Java and Typica are planted in the higher altitude areas of the west. Arabica varieties account for only 5% of the country's output. At present, Cameroon has an annual output of 11000 tons of coffee, mainly exported to the Netherlands, France and China.

Democratic Republic of the Congo D é mocratique du Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo, referred to as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), is located in central Africa. It is mainly divided into five parts: the Central Congo Basin, the Great Rift Valley in the eastern South African Plateau, the Azander Plateau in the north, the Lower Guinea Plateau in the west, and the Ronda-Katanga Plateau in the south. Rich in natural resources, many volcanoes, rivers and lakes and rich in forest resources, it can provide an ideal growing environment for crops such as coffee.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the birthplace of Lobustad. this kind of coffee was discovered in the late 19th century, when it was during the Belgian colonial period, so many coffee plantations were developed in the DRC. Later, in 1960, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) officially became independent, but the political chaos brought about by independence led to a decline in coffee production, and soon after the outbreak of civil war, the coffee industry was hit hard. Until this year, after the situation has stabilized a little, the coffee industry began to develop, but in recent years there are still many conflicts, the development is relatively slow.

Because it is the birthplace of Robusta, 80% of the country in the Democratic Republic of the Congo produces Robusta, and a small part of Arabica grows Arabica. Arabica is dominated by Bourbon Bourbon and Ironka Typica varieties. Coffee is mainly grown in the eastern part of the country, in Lake Kivu on the border with Burundi and Rwanda, with wild aromas and fruit and vanilla flavors. The mode of cultivation is similar to that of other African countries, dominated by smallholder cultivation and cooperative models, with an annual output of about 10 tons of coffee beans, which are currently exported mainly to neighbouring Uganda and member States of the East African Community.
