Coffee production in Laos

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.Most farmers in Laos would be earning a significantly lower income if they were to produce common crops such as soy, rice, corn, etc.Laos' abundant farmers, land resources and suitable climate make for a high probability of producing Arabica coffee in large quantities.After trial and error of trying to harvest coffee beans in the north, the French realized that southern Laos was ideal for plantations.Millions of years ago there was a volcanic eruption in the south, causing the southern soils to contain rich minerals ideal for coffee production.
