The coffee you consume takes a long journey to reach your cup, between the time it is grown, picked, and bought. Coffee beans go through a series of typical stages to reach the consumer. This article deals with the steps and stages of production of Arabic coffee from agriculture to consumption.
ARABIC COFFEE PRODUCTION STAGES
- Phase I: Grain cultivation: The coffee bean is actually a seed that is grown and once matured, the coffee beans are harvested, processed, and then dried to use it for making coffee. Coffee seeds are sown in large groups in saplings, and coffee is often grown during the rainy season, so the soil remains wet while the roots become solid.
- Phase II: Grain Harvesting: Depending on the varieties, it takes approximately 3 to 4 years for newly grown coffee plants to bear fruit. In most countries, the harvesting method is manual, obviously a difficult process, although, in places like Brazil where agriculture is relatively intensive and coffee fields are enormous, the process is performed automatically.
