Coffee Production in Dominican

Coffee Production in Dominican first started in the early 1700s. As of the late 1800s and early 1900s, it became one of the export products that had an important place in the island's economy. Dominican coffees generally consist of quality beans and contain rich, acidic flavor profiles with the influence of the Caribbean Sea. There are about 60,000 small coffee producers in the country. The coffees from the farms in the BAORUCO mountainous region, which lies parallel to the sea in the southeast of the Dominican Republic, are of the quality demanded in the world coffee market. Coffee exports are made from the island's port city of Barahona.
