Location domain

Panama is located on the Panamanian isthmus in Central America, bounded by Colombia to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

It is bordered by Costa Rica to the west and the Caribbean to the north. The territory is S-shaped to connect North and South America, and the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from north to south. It is known as the "bridge of the world". [5] Panama has an area of 75517 square kilometers and a land length of 772km.

The whole territory of Panama is undulating, with vertical and horizontal valleys, mostly mountains except the north and south coastal plains. [6]

There are more than 400 Panamanian rivers, the larger of which are Tuila, Chebo and Chagrys. [6]

Panamanian land use: arable land accounts for 8.9%, permanent pastures account for 20.0%, forests and woodland account for 43.0%, others account for 28.1%; per capita arable land accounts for 0.6 acres. [2]

Panama is rich in mineral resources, but it is not exploited much, and the scale of the mine is small. The main minerals are gold, silver, copper, iron, mercury, bauxite, manganese, salt, oil and so on. The reserves of copper, salt and bauxite are relatively large. As of 2013, Panama has more than 200 million tons of copper ore, ranking fourth in the world. The proven copper reserves can be mined for 50 years. [5]

Panama is rich in forest resources and has many tree species, including valuable wood such as mahogany, cedar, teak, mahogany, and cedar. The forest area of eastern Dalian Province is the most widely distributed, but it has not been fully developed due to lack of market and for reasons such as national defense and protection of the natural ecological environment. [5] according to FAO estimates in 2010, the forest area of Panama is 4.29 million hectares, accounting for 57 per cent of the land area, and many coffee plantations throughout Central America have begun to grow "Geisha". For many coffee farmers, this variety means a high price, and to a large extent, this perception is correct. Because as a manor that grows "Geisha", the price of its coffee is always higher than that of other estates.

Panamanian coffee has high traceability of origin. Generally speaking, the origin of coffee in Panama can be traced to a single manor or even to a field on the manor.

The distinction between Panamanian growing areas mainly depends on the sales situation of coffee, but mostly on geographical distribution. In the past, coffee was widely spread, and the following areas are actually one area, but these areas are closely linked.

Boquete

This is the Panamanian region that we are most familiar with. The special mountainous terrain of this area forms a microclimate which is very suitable for growing coffee. Cool weather and frequent fog slow down the ripening process of coffee cherries, and some even say that the climate can already simulate high-altitude planting.
