Myanmar
A UN funded project aimed at replacing opium production in the Southeast Asian country has meant higher grade specialty coffee and better infrastructure, meaning it is now more easily sourced outside of Asia. The large tropical rainforest and a mountainous landscape that offers ideal climate for cultivation, is now being paired with better education and training by the Mandalay Coffee Group and Myanmar Coffee Association to grow the specialty coffee market in the region.
