Coffee production in Laos : ウィキペディア英語版 | Coffee production in Laos
Laos produces two main types of coffee: Robusta and Arabica. Robusta is mainly used for regular coffee as well as a typical coffee drink in Laos where they sweeten it with condensed milk. The latter, Arabica, is of a higher quality due to its mild taste, and it is used for espresso. For the 20,000 tons of coffee that Laos produces a year, 5,000 tons are Arabica beans and 15,000 tons are Robusta.〔()〕 == Laotian coffee == The Arabica beans produced in Laos “are known for their medium body and a combination of mild citrus and floral tones.” Laos produces Robusta coffee at high altitudes (1300 m.a.s.l.) unlike other countries. 95% of its coffee is harvested in the Bolaven Plateau. Coffee is Laos’ fifth largest export product. The Bolaven Plateau, where coffee was first planted in Laos during the French colonial times,〔(Lao coffee history )〕 is the primary region of production for Laos. Several species were planted including Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica. While Laos is one of the few countries in the world able to boast about its high quality coffee beans, production serves as much more than a simple bragging right. The coffee industry proves to be vital to Laos' economy and its standard of living. Most farmers in Laos would be earning a significantly lower income if they were to produce common crops such as soy, rice, corn, etc. However, coffee production allows them to earn a salary sufficient enough to educate their families.〔()〕 Coffee also serves as Laos' main export commodity. Laos' abundant farmers, land resources and suitable climate make for a high probability of producing Arabica coffee in large quantities.
