Ivory Coast Coffee Coffee World Coffee Coffee cultivation

Industrially produced coffee beans (the kind that can be bought in the supermarket) are often over the best drinking period in the hands of consumers (although they are still within the shelf life), this kind of coffee can certainly not be called fine coffee, in contrast, those ordered roasted coffee have a very short time from roasting to consumers' hands and can maintain the flavor of fresh coffee to the maximum extent. If the raw materials are good, the roasting technology is excellent. This kind of coffee can be called fine coffee.

In terms of quantity, it is one of the largest producers in the world.

C ô te d'Ivoire te d'lvoire has never produced the best quality coffee, and it rarely comes from Arabian coffee trees. In the early 1980s, it was the world's third-largest coffee producer, with an annual output of 5 million bags. Even today, it is still the fifth largest coffee producer in the world, with an annual output of 4.4 million bags. In terms of coffee production, C ô te d'Ivoire is second only to Indonesia (6.8 million bags per year).

In the 1980s Ivorian coffee produced only 250 kilograms per hectare. This is partly due to poverty, but also to the aging of coffee trees. Lack of investment and lack of long-term business plans have also affected coffee production.

The Government of C ô te d'Ivoire has begun to take positive measures to reverse the situation. The National Coffee Management Committee has been reorganized and streamlined, and some production activities have been transferred to private companies for management. The government provides a minimum price guarantee to farmers who produce high-quality coffee and encourages exporters to buy directly from farmers. Today, 80% of exported coffee has found a market in European Community countries, with the main buyers being France and Italy.

It is worth noting that C ô te d'Ivoire is the main centre of coffee smuggling, with as many as 2600 tons of coffee smuggled between 1993 and 1994, mainly through the neighbouring countries of Mali (Mali) and Guinea (Guinea).
