Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter of coffee, contributing about one-third of global production. Coffee cultivation is concentrated in southeastern states like Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Paraná, where the climate and terrain are ideal. Brazil produces both Arabica and Robusta beans, with Arabica being more common and prized for its smooth, low-acidity flavor.
The country's coffee industry has faced challenges from climate change, including severe droughts, which have impacted yields and driven up global coffee prices. To address these issues, some farmers are adopting sustainable practices like agroforestry and reduced chemical use to improve resilience and productivity.
