Bolivia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Brazil, origin of coffee beans.

Puerto Rico

In 1736, coffee trees were introduced from Martinique to Puertp Rico. Most of the early coffee was grown by immigrants from Corsica. By 1896, Puerto Rico was the sixth largest exporter of coffee in the world, with most coffee shipped to France, Italy, Spain and Cuba. Coffee farms flourished in the 19th century, but the rise of sugarcane and drug farming as well as the impact of hurricanes and wars made the coffee industry lag behind and is now recovering.

Puerto Rico has a low-wage system, with a per capita hourly wage of $4.20 in 1991. Still, manual workers earn more than workers in many other coffee-producing countries, as long as Hawaii and Yamaja are on a par. Another problem facing the Puerto Rican coffee industry is that Puerto Ricans have better employment prospects because of their relatively high cultural quality in the Caribbean. Yaocote's choice of coffee, which is grown only on three farms in the southwest of the island, is fragrant and has a long aftertaste. This kind of coffee is very expensive and its flavor is comparable to that of any other coffee variety in the world. In the Yauco area, the coffee is owned and operated by local plantation owners. The mountain climate here is mild, the plants have a long mature period (from October to February), and the soil is of high quality clay. Some old varieties of Arabica coffee beans are grown here, although the yield is lower than other varieties, but generally of high quality. People here have been using an ecological and intensive planting method, using only some low-toxic fertilizers and chemicals, and adopting mixed crop planting measures to make the soil more fertile. When it comes time to pick coffee beans, people walk back and forth between coffee trees, picking only fully ripe coffee beans, and then wash them in a roller device for 48 hours.

Today, Puerto Rican gourmet coffee has been exported to the United States, France and Japan. Coffee in this country is generally carefully cultivated, with pure taste, aroma and heavy granules, among which the best is among the world's famous brands. The best coffee is Yauco Selecto, which means "Selecto". Grand Lares Yauco is produced in the southwest of the island, while Lars coffee is produced in the south-central part of the island.

Yaocote chooses coffee beans to be kept in shells before they are shipped and the skins are not removed until the order is shipped to ensure the best freshness of the coffee. Relevant U.S. government staff, such as FDA and USEA, will also be present when the goods are submitted, and they work to monitor producers' compliance with federal regulations. There are also staff from the local evaluation board, who take 1 bag out of every 50 bags as samples and use international gauges to evaluate their quality.

Jaime Fortu Fortuno, president of the acting bank Escogido Yauco in Escoki, pays silent attention to all this work, even the smallest details, every year. Fortuno is an investment banker who graduated from Harvard Business School. He was determined to seize every opportunity to open up a top coffee market in Puerto Rico. He expects a maximum annual output of 3000 bags of 45kg each, less than 1 per cent of the island's total coffee production.

Yaocote selected is a fascinating coffee, it has a complete flavor, no bitterness, rich nutrition, rich fruit, and is worth tasting. Even Thales in Harrogate, UK, has imported 50 bags of Yaoke specialty coffee.

Bolivia

In the past, coffee trees in Bolivia used to act as hedges and ornaments around the garden. Real commercial production began in the early 1950s. The great frost of 1957 seriously damaged Brazil's coffee industry, while Bolivia (Bolivia) benefited from it and developed rapidly. Bolivian coffee is grown at an altitude of 180,670 meters above sea level, and the Arabic washed coffee beans are exported to Germany and Sweden, which are not the best today and have a bitter taste.

Brazil

Low acidity, moderately roasted coffee beans from the World Coffee Center

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 the country's coffee. The number of coffee producers in Brazil is twice or even three times that of Colombia, the second largest coffee producer 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 led to 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-interference 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.
