The South American country of Brazil produces 34% of the world's traded coffee on 2.3 million hectares, making it the clear number one in the world, far ahead of Vietnam.
Brazil has around 287,000 farms growing coffee, each ranging in size from one hectare to 25,000 hectares of land. On these cultivated areas, about 45 million bags of coffee beans of 60 kg each are harvested annually, of which about 80% are Arabica and 20% Robusta beans. What is special here is that most of the harvesting is done by machine. A large proportion of the coffee harvest is consumed by the Brazilians themselves, as almost a third remains in the country.
