Not every country can grow coffee beans. It requires a very specific climate, altitude, and care that many nations are not able to provide simply due to geographic location.
Coffee is primarily grown in the “coffee belt” region of Earth. This stands for 25 degrees north of the equator and 30 degrees south. Anything between these coordinates has the climate to support the Coffea plant.
The regions that primarily fall under this belt are South America, Central America, North America just a little bit, Africa for the most part, South and South-East Asia. Let’s take a look at the countries that produce coffee in those specific regions.
The Americas
If you’ve ever had coffee, chances are that it was from the Americas, primarily from Brazil, as it’s the world’s largest producer of coffee beans.
However, other countries like Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and etc are just as well-versed in the Coffea plant, exporting hundreds of tonnes to the rest of the world. This region is primarily known for its love for the Arabica coffee variety as well as its dozens of sub-varieties. In a way, The Americas are the laboratory of coffee plants, as so many different variants are produced here.

Africa
The African continent is considered to be the home of the Coffea plant. In particular, research shows that the very first coffee was grown and brewed in Ethiopia. This then spread wide and far into countries like Tanzania, Kenya, and many others as European colonists discovered the value of coffee.
Nowadays, Ethiopia and Kenya rank in the top producing countries when it comes to coffee beans, and are known for some of the most exquisite coffee beans out there. Below, you can check out a list of African counties that produce coffee.
Asia & Oceania
Coffee was first introduced in Asia after it was imported from Ethiopia. Yemeni traders bought this tasty-smelling seed and learned how to create a brew that would help scholars pull all-nighters. They quickly named it Mokha and started exporting to the rest of the world. This is why coffee is sometimes referred to as Mocha.
After a few years, coffee beans made it to places like India, Bangladesh, and most importantly, South-East Asia. The largest significance for coffee in Asia belongs to the island of Java, which popularized the drink in this region. You may already guess why since the word Java is synonymous with coffee.
Now, Asia is one of the largest producers of coffee in the world, but mainly focusing on Robusta or Liberica varieties.
