A coffee farmer is an individual who cultivates and harvests coffee beans from coffee plants. These farmers typically work on coffee plantations, where they grow varieties of Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (commonly known as Robusta). The process involves planting, nurturing, and picking the coffee cherries, which are the fruit that contains the coffee beans. Coffee farming is often labor-intensive and requires knowledge of agricultural practices, climate conditions, and pest management. Farmers may use sustainable methods to ensure the health of their crops and the environment. The harvested beans are then processed and sold to coffee roasters, contributing to the global coffee industry.
