Coffee bean producing areas-Africa-Ivory Coast

Well-known representative coffee: none

Ivory Coast is a country in West Africa, next to Guinea and Liberia. Ivory Coast is a French free translation of the name, if literally translated by pronunciation is Ivory Coast.

Under French rule, coffee, along with cocoa and palms, was grown heavily along the coast to stimulate exports. By the 1960s, coffee production had increased to make Ivory Coast the third largest coffee exporter after Brazil and Colombia.

However, in recent years, due to the impact of climate, economy, aging and reduced production of coffee trees, its coffee production has not been prosperous in the past.

Since Ivory Coast is also a major producer of coffee in Africa, why are we not familiar with Ivory Coast coffee?

This is because almost all coffee in Ivory Coast is Robasta, and only a few Arabica coffees are experimental.

As mentioned earlier, because of its special taste and characteristics, Robasta coffee is mostly used for instant coffee or canned coffee, and rarely consumed directly in the form of fine coffee, so it does not often appear in the coffee-producing countries that we often mention.
