A South American country, Brazil boasts of a wonderful tropical climate with parts of the country experiencing periodic rainfall and warmer temperatures.
Neither was Brazil the first to start commercially growing & distributing coffee nor does it have higher altitudes compared to other regions in the bean belt.
So, how did this country dominate the global coffee market, starting in the early 1800s and has been at the top for over 150 years?
Some attribute it to the capacity Brazil has for producing & exporting coffee at a large scale, but surely there’s more to their success.
