The Variety and Taste of Brazilian Coffee Development of planting, production and picking of Brazilian Coffee

Varieties of Brazilian coffee

Although coffee is diverse, Brazilian coffee is suitable for the taste of the public. For example, coffee produced in the northern coastal areas has a typical iodine taste, reminiscent of the sea after drinking. This coffee is exported to North America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Another kind of coffee that is interesting and worth looking for is washed Bahia. This kind of coffee is not easy to find because Brazil is the world's largest consumer of coffee after the United States, and many of the best coffee can only be found in its domestic market.

In Brazil, the largest producer is Robbins. This kind of coffee is sold in the supermarket. Brazil's Robucht coffee, sold under the name Conillon, accounts for 15 per cent of total production.

Old bourbon coffee is grown on some estates in the Serrado district of MinasGreais in southeastern Brazil. These estates, such as Caping Blanco (CapinBranco) and Vista Allegre (VistaAllegre), grow old varieties of bourbon coffee on the market. Although they come from the same area, these coffees have their own characteristics. Capingblanco coffee is smoother than Vesta Allegre coffee, while Vesta Allegre coffee is strong and black, both of which have lower acidity. However, like all Brazilian coffee, they are most suitable for drinking when they are fresh and tender, because the older they are, the more acidic they are. These coffee growers have organized themselves into the Brazilian Special Coffee Association (theSpecialityCoffeeAssociationofBrazil).

Cultivation and production of Coffee in Brazil

Picking of Brazilian Coffee

Brazil is vividly compared to the "giant" and "monarch" of the coffee world. There are about 3.97 billion coffee trees there, and small farmers now grow 75% of Brazil's total coffee production. The number of coffee producers in Brazil is twice or even three times that of Colombia, the second largest coffee producer in the world.

In terms of natural conditions, Brazil is in the tropics, with a tropical rain forest climate in the north, hot and humid all the year round, suitable for tropical crops, coffee trees are sunny crops, and sufficient sunlight is the condition for their growth. Historically, Brazil has been a Portuguese colony for a long time. In order to meet the needs of Western Europe, it has planted single crops for a long time and developed the tropical plantation economy, so Brazilian coffee has been its pillar industry for a long time. From the market point of view, coffee and its processed products are rich in caffeine, exhilarate and play an important role in the working group dominated by mental workers, so they play a huge role in modern society, so the market is broad. Taken together, Brazil ranks first in coffee production in the world.

Unlike in the past, Brazil's economy is now less dependent on coffee, which accounts for only 8% to 10% of GDP. Before World War II, Brazil accounted for 50% or more of the world's coffee production, and now it is close to 30%. But the country's impact on the world's coffee, especially on coffee prices, is significant. For example, two frost disasters in 1994 caused a sharp rise in global coffee prices.

Since the introduction of coffee trees from French Guiana (Guyana) in 1720, coffee production has gradually become a science. Before 1990, the Brazilian government carried out strict monitoring of the coffee industry, with both strict intervention and price protection measures, and the state has been implementing minimum price protection measures for farmers, resulting in coffee overproduction. Before World War II, the remaining stock reached 78 million bags, which had to be burned by fire or thrown into the water to destroy.

Since the opening of the free market in 1990, the original Brazilian Coffee Authority (IBC) has been replaced by the National Economic Association, the country's non-investment administrative body, which pursues a policy of non-intervention and allows producers to negotiate directly with exporters. The business activities of exporters are supervised by the government legislation, and the relevant departments register legitimate exporters.

The largest coffee producer, which accounts for 1/3 of the world's coffee consumption, accounts for 1/3 of the world's coffee consumption and has a place in the global coffee market, although Brazil faces several times more natural disasters than other regions. but its acreage is enough to make up for it.

There are many kinds of coffee here, but its industrial policy is large and cheap, so there is not much premium coffee, but it is a good choice for mixing other coffees.
