Colombia, the second largest coffee producer in the world
Colombian coffee is one of the few original coffee sold in the world under the name of the country. In terms of quality, it has won praise unmatched by other coffee. The country is the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans, while Robbins coffee is rarely grown. It is also the world's largest exporter of washed coffee beans (Washed beans). Compared with other producing countries, Colombia is more concerned with developing products and promoting production. It is this, coupled with its superior geographical and climatic conditions, that makes Colombian coffee excellent in quality and delicious and famous all over the world.
The country's coffee-producing areas are located in the foothills of the Andes, where the climate is mild and the air is humid. Colombia has three Cordilleras mountains (sub-mountain system) running north and south, right into the Andes. Coffee is grown along the highlands of these mountains. The mountain steps provide a diverse climate, which means that the whole year is the harvest season, with different kinds of coffee ripening at different times. And fortunately, unlike Brazil, Colombia doesn't have to worry about frost. There are about 2.7 billion coffee trees in Colombia, 66 per cent of which are planted in modern plantations and the rest on small, traditionally run farms.
In the early 1960s, coffee production was about 600kg per hectare. Now it has risen to about 900kg, and some farms can reach 2500 kg. However, quality assurance is a top priority for the coffee industry. Colombia established the National Coffee Management Association (Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros, or FNC) in 1927, which is responsible for quality supervision. Although the association is a private company, it acts on behalf of the government. In addition to organizing the industry, the association is also responsible for raising funds in a bumper harvest year. Coffee prices have tended to fall over the past few years, and the association has almost exhausted its reserves. The National Coffee Management Association is also responsible for health care, education, road construction, hiring planting technicians, conducting investigations, monitoring product quality, directly handling 50% of the total export volume, and hiring marketing personnel. Like the National Coffee Management Association in Kenya, it is a model of coffee organization.
