From coffee plantations to steaming pots and cups: the coffee route from Brazil to the world

Coffee has its origin dated around 575 A.D., on the African continent, specifically in the Ethiopian region. Historical reports state that in 1727, the Portuguese Francisco de Mello Palheta, coming from the French Guiana, brought the first coffee seedlings to Brazil and thus began the Brazilian production and consumption of the magical drink.

Brazil exported in 2019, 4 million bags of roasted coffee, according to data from ABIC. But it is the export of raw coffee beans in which Brazil has the international lead and which makes it the largest coffee exporter in the world. According to the Council of Coffee Exporters in Brazil (Cecafé), Brazil exported 3,077,476 bags of 60 kg. each in January 2021 alone.

Currently, the shipping ports located in Santos (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Vitória (ES), Paranaguá (PR), and Salvador (BA) are the main export locations for coffee, with the port of Santos (SP) taking the lead.
