COFFEE BEANS
There are various types and varieties of coffee seeds. The most popular coffee seeds are Arabica and Robusta.
As a result of this outstanding character and great taste, Arabica is the most widely-planted and popular type of coffee consumed in the world, especially since Arabica coffee contains about half the amount of caffeine compared to Robusta coffee.
However, Arabica coffee can be planted only in limited regions or areas around the world, and cannot withstand diseases or weather changes. Arabica coffee is widely-planted in the Northern region of Thailand. While Robusta coffee has the ability to withstand diseases, it also gives an abundance coffee bean output and has a very strong taste - but with little bitterness. Also, Robusta is not expensive and widely used to produce instant coffee as well as ready-to –drink coffee sold in cans, markets for which have a very high global value.
Therefore, there has been continuous growing and production of Robusta coffee in the world markets; and Robusta coffee is mostly-planted in the Southern region of Thailand.
