Coffee was first introduced to Brazil in the 18th century, probably by the Portuguese, who brought plants from French Guiana.

Coffee was one of the main drivers of the Brazilian economy, which led to increased colonisation and expansion of cultivation in the interior of the country. During the 19th century and early 20th century, coffee played a key role in financing Brazil’s economic growth.2. the cultivation of coffee in Brazil:Brazil has a wide range of climatic zones suitable for coffee cultivation.
