Coffee production in Mexico : ウィキペディア英語版 | Coffee production in Mexico
The coffee production in Mexico is the world's 8th largest with 252,000 metric tonnes produced in 2009,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title = Food and Agricultural commodities production )〕 and is mainly concentrated to the south central to southern regions of the country. The coffee is mainly arabica, which grows particularly well in the coastal region of Soconusco, Chiapas, near the border of Guatemala.〔(Mexico: Other crops )〕 At the end of the 18th century, coffee came to Mexico from the Antilles, but was not exported in great quantities until the 1870s.〔 During the 1980s, coffee became the country's most valuable export crop.〔 Today Mexico is the largest source of U.S. coffee imports. Notable beans include Altura, Liquidambar MS and Pluma Coixtepec. ==History==
At the end of the 18th century, coffee was first introduced into Veracruz, a state in Mexico. In 1954, when the price of coffee peaked as it emerged in the international market, production was moved to Mexico, where it cost significantly less. Since coffee has been introduced into Chiapas at the end of the 19th century, it has become the major region of coffee cultivation in Mexico.〔 During the early 1980s, coffee plantations in Mexico spread rapidly over 12 states.〔 In 1982, the total amount of land in Mexico used for coffee production was 497,456 hectares.〔 In addition, during the 1970s and 1980s, coffee production played a significant role in the national economy and became a major source of income for more than two million people in Mexico. Coffee plantations contributed to Mexican export trade with a great amount of foreign currency. At the same time, the commercialized coffee industry offered many employment opportunities in Mexico.〔
