尼泊尔咖啡简介

     In 1938 AD, a hermit Mr Hira Giri had brought some seeds of Coffee from Sindu Province of Myanmar (the then Burma) and had planted in Aapchaur of Gulmi District for the first time in Nepal. The crop remained unnoticed as a curiosity crop until 1970s. Then it spread from one farmer to another as a curiosity plant for about 4 decades.

      However, after the year 2002, substantial increase in the export and also increase in domestic market consumption to some extent motivated Coffee producers to consider Coffee as a major income generating crop.

      Respecting the interest of people on Coffee and favorable climatic conditions for its cultivation. Ministry of Agriculture decided to launch Coffee Development Programme in the country. The Government provided technical and financial support to the farmers; its cultivation has gradually spread to about 40 districts of the middle hills of Nepal. Lalitpur, Gulmi, Palpa, Shyangja, Kaski, Sidhupalchowk, Kavre, are some districts known for Coffee production.

       咖啡自从1938年由希拉吉里先生从缅甸引入尼泊尔以来，一直都是作为珍稀作物来种植。2002年后，出口量的加大和国内消费的增长，在一定程度上刺激了咖啡的种植。鉴于人们对咖啡的喜爱以及适宜种植的气候条件，尼泊尔农业部决定启动咖啡发展计划。政府提供技术和资金支持农民，咖啡种植逐渐扩展到中部山区的40个地区。
