Peru

In Peru, coffee is grown in ten distinct regions in the country's north, central belt, and south.

It's also not a new crop, having been farmed throughout the country since the 1700s. Due to the country's inadequate commercial infrastructure, coffee was frequently disregarded, resulting in the majority of coffee produced being drunk domestically. This has altered in recent decades, with farmers being able to export and sell their produce on global markets.

Many people are discovering that these coffees can compete with the best from around the world. Peruvian coffee grown in the lowlands is medium-bodied with nutty floral and fruity overtones, whereas coffee grown in the highlands, specifically in the Andes, is fragrant, rich, and acidic, and is just waiting to be discovered.

Coffee Production: 346 Metric tons (000s) per year
