- Coffee
By: Alexis Rubinstein, Managing Editor - Coffee Network

CoffeeNetwork (New York) - Sustainability is a key condition to compete in international markets, and Costa Rica has successfully incorporated this element into one of its most iconic products: coffee. In line with this vision, in 2024 the country became the first worldwide to export deforestation-free coffee.
This achievement is the result of a production model that prioritizes both the quality of each bean and the protection of the environment. In Costa Rica, coffee farms implement low-impact practices, such as limiting the use of insecticides, controlling weeds manually or with sustainable solutions, and contributing to the country's overall vegetation cover. Aligned with these practices, coffee plantations represent the second most important "forest" in Costa Rica after natural forests.
From an agricultural perspective, and thanks to legislation in place since 1989, the country exclusively cultivates the Arabica species, renowned for its superior quality. Combined with ideal geographic conditions such as volcanic soils, altitude, and diverse microclimates, this enables Costa Rica to produce highly valued flavor profiles in international markets.
"Costa Rican coffee represents the best of our export offering, combining quality, sustainability, and a traceable value chain that generates well-being. This allows us to compete in demanding markets and stand out with a differentiated proposal over countries that prioritize volume over quality", said Laura López, CEO of the Trade and Investment Promotion Agency of Costa Rica (PROCOMER).
Beyond its environmental component, Costa Rican coffee also aligns with consumer trends that favor high-value products. Research from Harvard's School of Public Health reveals that moderate coffee consumption may contribute to the prevention of chronic and neurodegenerative diseases.
Thanks to this combination of attributes, Costa Rican coffee has gained ground in new markets. Japan and Saudi Arabia stand out among the fastest-growing destinations, where coffee has been valued as a specialty beverage with high added value. According to PROCOMER's latest data, coffee ranks among the top three products with the fastest export growth in the country, compared to the same period last year.
"Our strategy is to bring Costa Rican coffee to more corners of the world, backed by a reliable origin, a sustainable approach, and an offering that responds to current consumer trends. Traceability, compliance with international standards, and differentiation based on responsible practices allow us to generate greater added value, strengthen product positioning, and create opportunities for the network of producers and exporters behind Costa Rican coffee", added López.
The international projection of Costa Rican coffee has been made possible thanks to the joint efforts of the productive sector and stakeholders such as the essential COSTA RICA country brand and PROCOMER, who promote programs and strategies to position national coffee as a product of excellence, supported by international standards, responsible practices, and a long-term vision.

Daily coffee report


August 11 – It was generally a quiet night for the markets until early this morning when a headline hit that Iran and Oman were close to reaching a deal. Stock futures rallied, while the dollar index followed Treasury yields lower, along with active selling in the energy- and food-based commodities. The headline had limited impact though in a world that has become skeptical of promises of peace. Stock futures remain steady to firmer at this hour, while the VIX trades near 16 – just above 2026 lows. The dollar index is trading near 99.8 this morning, after recovering from its early morning selloff over the following hour of trade. Yields on 10-year Treasuries are trading near 4.69%, while yields on 2-year Treasuries trade near 4.22%. WTI crude oil is trading near $82 per barrel at this hour, while Brent trades near $88. The grain and oilseed markets are mostly weaker, after failing to recover from this morning’s early selloff that started in the crude oil market.
