Brazil is a real powerhouse of coffee production. The country produces almost 40% of the world's coffee supply. Many areas in Brazil have a climate that is perfectly favorable for growing coffee. Coffee plantations cover about 27,000 square kilometers of Brazil, with the majority located in Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Parana. Brazil distinguishes itself from most other coffee-producing countries by drying the coffee beans in the sun (unwashed coffee) instead of washing them. The country is so influential on coffee production that the 60-kilogram burlap bag historically used to export coffee beans from Brazil remains the global standard by which to measure production and trade.

The future of coffee production       

With global temperatures rising, good coffee can become increasingly difficult to grow.
