List of countries by coffee production
List of countries by coffee production refers to the compilation of nations worldwide that cultivate coffee, a popular beverage derived from the roasted seeds of the Coffea plant. The list is often ranked based on the volume of coffee produced, typically measured in metric tons.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Coffee is a significant agricultural product, and its cultivation plays a crucial role in the economies of many countries. The plant is native to tropical regions of Sub-Saharan Africa, but it is now grown in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and Africa.

Coffee Production and the Economy[edit | edit source]
In many countries, coffee farming provides livelihoods for millions of people, especially in developing countries where coffee earnings can contribute significantly to the reduction of poverty. However, coffee production is also subject to the volatility of global commodity markets, which can impact the economic stability of these nations.
Environmental Impact of Coffee Production[edit | edit source]
The environmental impact of coffee production involves several aspects, including deforestation, pesticide use, water consumption, and waste generation. Sustainable coffee production practices are increasingly being adopted to mitigate these impacts.
