The Brazilian coffee industry started in 1727, when coffee beans were smuggled into the country from French Guinea. In the early 19th and 20th centuries, Brazil was the biggest producer of coffee beans.

Today, Brazil still produces almost a third of all the world's coffee beans. Over 5 million people are employed in the cultivation and harvesting of over 3 billion coffee plants; it is a much more labour-intensive culture than other crops of the same region such as sugar cane, as it is not subject to automation and requires constant attention.

Brazilian Santos coffee is named after the port of Santos, not a coffee growing region.
