Generally speaking, Brazilian coffee beans are considered to be Flexible and Versatile, so many mixed beans (Blend) or Italian coffee are based on Brazilian coffee beans.

Cerrado is a growing area where Cerrado coffee beans are treated with the traditional Brazilian natural drying of pulp (Pulped Natural); since coffee beans are dried with peel pulp (Pulp) and pectin (Mucilage), they retain high organic, mineral and soluble solids.

This kind of coffee beans has a strong aroma, slightly sweet with the flavor of Chocolate, as well as the sour taste of citric acid, which is not easy to detect. It has a moderate Body and a long Aftertaste or Finish.

The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that local Robusta coffee production has fallen by 24 per cent to 9.9 million bags in last year's season and is expected to fall by another 30 per cent this year. In addition to the sharp decline in production, the appreciation of the Brazilian dollar and speculation from investment funds have also contributed to the rise in coffee bean prices.

The price of Robusta coffee beans on the London Stock Exchange soared to $2251 a tonne in November, a four-year high. In the face of a shortage of Robusta coffee beans, the higher-grade Arabica coffee beans (Arabica) have also risen in price, despite the abundance of Arabica coffee beans this year.

So far, overseas coffee roasters have been able to absorb higher costs, while Brazil's ban on the import of Robusta coffee beans has led to domestic supply shortages and soaring prices even more overseas. In the past year alone, the price of Brazilian Robusta coffee powder has risen by more than 20%.

The conversion of cultivated land still fails to make ends meet.

But no matter how high the price of coffee is, it cannot make up for the loss caused to farmers by the withering of large coffee plantations. In order to support the family, Babillon has converted part of the farmland into bananas and even had to cancel personal health insurance to pay for their children's tuition.
