The research center, located about 30 kilometers northeast of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, belongs to the Costa Rican Coffee Association.

Coffee planting, breeding, quality inspection research institutions, in addition, it also has 10 hectares of experimental plots, planting a number of excellent varieties. Coffee is the main agricultural product of Costa Rica, with an annual output of more than 2 million bags (60 kg) and a foreign exchange earnings of 250 million US dollars, second only to pineapples and bananas, which account for 1/3 of the global consumption of coffee. It has a share in the global coffee market.

Although Costa Rica faces several times more natural disasters than other regions, it has enough acreage to make up for it.

There are many kinds of coffee here, but its industrial policy is large and cheap, so there is not much premium coffee, but it is a good choice for mixing other coffees. Costa Rican coffee is all Arabica beans, washed with water, its style is bright, full of aroma, clear as wind chimes swaying in the breeze, mild acidity and good sweetness. Because of the sweetness, even if the coffee gets cold, it tastes very good, which is a major feature of Costa Rican coffee. Therefore, it is recommended that you taste Costa Rican coffee with only a small amount of sugar and cream in order to enjoy its girlish flavor. High-quality Costa Rican coffee is called "extra hard beans". This kind of coffee can grow above 1500 meters above sea level. Altitude has always been a problem for coffee growers. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. However, although coffee is grown at higher elevations,

There are many advantages, but the additional transportation costs must be taken into account, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. The coffee industry in Costa Rica has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size. In 2002-2003, Costa Rica produced 3 million bales (60 kg each) and exported 1.87 million bales of coffee. 40% of the coffee exported is high-quality refined coffee, which is known internationally as "GOURMET coffee". In the international market, refined coffee costs an average of US $93.61 per bag (46kg) (FOB), which is US $19.56 higher than that of ordinary coffee. I also have a kind of refined coffee, which sells for $800 a bag.

The main competitors for high-quality coffee in Colombia are Kenya, Guatemala and Ethiopia. Coffee production in Brazil and Vietnam is mainly in quantity, which is not enough to pose a threat to high-quality coffee in Colombia. In the next five years, my country is going to increase the export of high-quality coffee to 70% of all exported coffee.
