Coffee Farmers

Coffee farmers are individuals or communities who cultivate coffee plants, mainly in tropical regions suitable for coffee growing. They prepare the land, plant coffee trees, and tend to them through irrigation, pruning, and pest control to produce coffee cherries. Their work involves seasonal labor, careful maintenance, and harvesting ripe cherries. Coffee farmers often sell their harvests to local buyers or cooperatives, which process and export the beans globally. Their role is essential in producing coffee that millions of people enjoy daily, and their livelihoods are closely linked to the health of coffee crops and related global markets.
