Among the differential characteristics that make Colombian coffee stand out from the competition in the sector are its above-average quality, its availability at practically any time of the year, and the environmental and soil conditions in the country that, thanks to the tropical climate and the altitude and latitude conditions, make it ideal for the cultivation of coffee. Likewise, the only variety cultivated in the country is Arabica, which is the most sought after and expensive in the international market due to its uniqueness and unmistakable flavor and aroma. Furthermore, the harvesting follows traditional manners, and the sector bets on innovation in the processes, which makes the country a pioneer in cultivation, sustainability, and quality standards, laying the foundations for the success of the Colombian coffee bean in international markets.
