Brazil

Coffee and Brazil are closely linked. The first coffee plants arrived in Brazil in the early 18th century and quickly spread throughout the country. Initially grown for European colonists, Brazil's coffee production boomed in the 19th century as supply from other countries declined. The country's large size, varied landscapes, and proximity to the US made it an ideal coffee exporter. By 1920, Brazil produced 80% of the world's coffee. The weather remains a crucial factor in the global coffee market, and Brazil continues to be one of the top two coffee producers alongside Colombia. Brazil has also contributed numerous coffee varieties, including Caturra, Maragogype, and Mundo Novo, which have spread globally.
