Colombia has two main coffee growing regions and has been a major source of coffee production for developing countries since the 1800s. While coffee is an important crop and employer in Colombia, it also faces sustainability issues such as decreasing prices, impacts of weather events, and loss of biodiversity. However, Colombia promotes fair trade and environmentally friendly coffee growing techniques to support farmers' livelihoods and conserve the environment.
