History of coffee in Costa Rica

History of coffee in Costa Rica

Coffee production in Costa Rica began in the late 17th century in the Central Valley, which had ideal soil and climate conditions for coffee plantations. Arabica coffee trees were brought into the country directly from Ethiopia. In the nineteenth century, the Costa Rican government strongly promoted coffee production, and by 1821, at the time of independence, the value of coffee was realized as an export product and as an opportunity to free farmers from poverty. By 1829, coffee had become a major source of income, surpassing cocoa, tobacco and sugar.

In 1832, Costa Rica began exporting coffee to Chile, where it was repackaged and sent to England. In 1843, a shipment was sent directly to the United Kingdom and the British then developed an interest in the country. They invested heavily in Costa Rica's coffee industry and became a major export customer until World War II.
