The new coffee frontiers
Coffee has already traced many routes abroad since it arrived in the northern Brazilian state of Pará, in the 18th century. Today, regions with little tradition in coffee culture, like Western Bahia (in the Northeast) and Rondônia (in the North), are advancing in the coffee ranking. In Bahia, irrigated coffee is planted. Now Rondônia is the second largest producer of conillon coffee. The expansion of coffee planting is the subject of the second article in the ANBA series about coffee.
