Résumé
Three countries, Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam, account for almost 60% of world production. Latin American countries combined account for 63%. Brazil currently supplies about a third of world production but the proportion has varied significantly over the years: 48% in 1852; 75% in 1900; 19% in 1964, jumping to 46% a year later in 1965; and 26% in 1993. Brazil has a cost advantage due to high efficiency, for example, through automatic harvesting and irrigation. Frost and drought have been the main causes for fluctuations in production, with a corresponding influence on world prices. Viet Nam entered the scene in the late 1980s. It increased production from around 500,000 bags in 1986 to about 12 million bags yearly since 2000 - around 11% of world supply. Almost all coffee from Viet Nam is robusta.
