Brazil produces a significant amount of coffee, yet its specialty coffee sector is limited, with only 38,000 hectares dedicated to certified arabica specialty coffee. Minas Gerais dominates this area, accounting for 82% of certified production. The region benefits from a well-structured supply chain, unlike other areas that struggle with commercial sustainability. Most farms utilize semidry processing methods, but terminology around processing remains inconsistent, with 23 different terms identified, indicating a lack of standardization in the industry.
