Last Updated: 2026/04/04, Coffee cultivation began in the 15th century.

For hundreds of years, Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula is the only coffee producer in the world, and the market demand for coffee is very strong. In the Yemeni port of Moka, when coffee is shipped out, it often needs to be protected by heavy troops. At the same time, Yemen has also taken various measures to prevent coffee saplings from being taken out of the country.

Despite many restrictions, Muslim pilgrims on the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca secretly brought coffee saplings back to their hometown, so coffee soon took root in India.

At that time, in Venice, Italy, countless merchant ships traded perfumes, tea and textiles with Arab merchants. In this way, coffee spread to a wide area of Europe through Venice. Many European businessmen have become accustomed to drinking coffee. Later, small vendors peddling coffee appeared on the streets of many European cities, and coffee gained rapid popularity in Europe.

The strong demand for coffee has laid a solid foundation for the rapid expansion of coffee in areas other than its origin. In the 17th century, the Dutch introduced coffee to their colony of Indonesia. At the same time, the French began to grow coffee in Africa. Today, coffee has become the second largest trading product on the earth after oil!
