Last Updated: 2024/09/20, The Dominican Republic has also experienced a history of unrest and poverty, and now the country has implemented democratic elections and entered a period of stable development, but it has not yet formally established diplomatic relations with China, but has maintained so-called diplomatic relations with Taiwan. It seems that this has nothing to do with coffee, but in fact, it still has an impact.

The Dominican Republic has also experienced a history of unrest and poverty, and now the country has implemented democratic elections and entered a period of stable development, but it has not yet formally established diplomatic relations with China, but has maintained so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. It seems that this has nothing to do with coffee, but in fact, it still has an impact. The exchanges between the two countries that have not established diplomatic relations are subject to many restrictions in all aspects, of course, it will also affect our coffee trade. Dominican coffee is mainly exported to the United States and a small number of European countries because of its superior quality, which is rarely seen in our Chinese mainland.

The earliest coffee in Dominica was introduced from Martinique (the overseas province of France), dating back to the early 18th century. Dominica is an island country with a tropical climate, with little change in temperature throughout the year. Except for the lower temperature in the Central Cordillera Mountains, which can reach less than 0 ℃ in winter, the average annual temperature in other areas is between 25 and 30 ℃, while affected by the mountain topography, the north and east face the northeast trade wind with an annual precipitation of 1500-2500 mm, which belongs to tropical maritime climate. The mountain forest is dense, the leeward southwest annual precipitation is 500-1000 mm, the dry season is long, belongs to the savanna climate.

The temperate climate in Dominica is conducive to coffee cultivation, and the best places to grow coffee are the Barahona region in the southwest and the Cibao Valley north of Santiago, Dominica's second largest city. The northern region, represented by Hibao, and the southern region, including Okayabani Santo Domingo, produce good coffee. Among them, the coffee produced by Santo Domingo and Barney is famous all over the world, which is almost synonymous with domiga coffee.
