History of Coffee in Brazil
American colonists had enjoyed coffee for fifty years before the inaugural coffee seed took root in Brazil in 1727. A century later, Brazil claimed 30% of the global coffee market. By the 1920s, Brazil's dominance reached a zenith, with an 80% share of the world's coffee production. Despite peaking in the 1920s, Brazil's ongoing reign as the top coffee producer continues to wield significant sway over market dynamics and coffee pricing. The adage "when Brazil sneezes, the coffee world catches cold" reflects this influence. In 1975, a devastating "black frost" obliterated over 70% of Brazil's coffee crop, leading to a doubling of coffee prices worldwide. Brazil's historical impact is further evidenced by its role as a founding member of the Pan-American Coffee Bureau, credited with popularizing the "coffee break" concept in the early 1950s through an innovative advertising campaign.
