What Countries Produce Coffee Beans?

!9#: What Countries Produce Coffee Beans?

Coffee is produced in over 30 countries. As a result of each country's specific rainfall, sunshine, temperature, humidity, winds, and seasonal changes; the coffees from around the world all have their own characteristics and flavors. However, the similarities that all coffee-growing countries do share is that they are tropical countries located in the equatorial belt at 25 degrees N to 30 degrees S. Coffee plants like generous amounts of rain and steady temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. They also prefer volcanic soil, plenty of shade, and good drainage.

There are two types of coffee plants that are grown for commercial coffee production: Arabica trees and Robusta trees. The Arabica bush originated from Ethiopia and flourishes at high altitudes above 2,000 feet. It was first cultivated in Yemen and still grows wild in Ethiopia. It prefers a temperate climate and produces the highest quality coffee.

The Robusta tree is a smaller plant that originated in the Congo and thrives below 2,000 feet. Although the beans produce a lesser quality coffee with a harsher flavor it is mostly resistant to disease; making it quite abundant. It prefers equatorial heat and humidity.

The following countries are producers of coffee beans:
Angola Australia Bolivia Burundi Cameroon China Cuba Dominican Republic Ecuador El Salvador Galapagos Islands Guadeloupe Haiti Honduras Ivory Coast Le Reunion Madagascar Martinique Mozambique Panama Peru Puerto Rico Philippines South Africa Saint Helena Sudan Surinam Tahiti Taiwan Uganda Venezuela Vietnam Zaire Zambia Zimbabwe

Each producing country uses a different system to classify their coffees but four general classifications are used. "High Grown Milds" are coffee beans grown at locations over 2,000 feet; "Brazils" are Arabica beans produced in Brazil and grown at less than 2,000 feet; "Milds"are low-grown Arabica beans produced in countries other than Brazil; and "Robustas" include Robutsa coffee beans produced mainly in Brazil, Africa, and southeast Asia.
