Cuba

Coffee has been cultivated in Cuba since the middle of the 18th century. Stimulated by French farmers fleeing the Haitian revolution, coffee farms expanded from the western plains to the nearby mountain ranges. Coffee production in eastern Cuba increased significantly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. At the peak of production, Cuba exported over 20,000 metric tons (22,046 short tons) of coffee beans per year in the mid-1950s.
