Jamaica is a tiny coffee grower, producing only 0.02 per cent of the world coffee market and exporting 85 per cent to Japan.

Among them, the leading driving role is the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board (CIB), which was established in 1948 with the original intention of promoting the development of Jamaica coffee industry, increasing the income of coffee farmers, protecting the quality of Jamaica coffee, and selling Jamaica coffee worldwide.

CIB makes a series of specifications to ensure the quality of Blue Mountain Coffee:

1. Clearly define production areas;

2. Selection of Arabica Iron Pickup varieties for cultivation;

3. Training coffee farmers (cultivation techniques, harvest handling techniques, environmental protection, etc.);

4. Improve coffee processing skills (stick to manual picking, only picking fully ripe red fruits; use washing method; control drying conditions to achieve a target moisture content of coffee beans of 12%)

Since 1953, CIB has classified coffee grown in the region as Blue Mountain coffee based on its specific origin. By 1980, Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee had become so famous that some retailers in the United States and Britain labeled non-Jamaica coffee "Blue Mountain Coffee." To this end, CIB designed a label in 1984-1985 that could only be affixed to 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. There are also logos for Jamaica Alpine Coffee and Preferred Coffee
