„At one time, Venezuela ranked close toColombia in coffee production, but in the 1960s and 70s, as petroleum turned Venezuelainto the richest country in South America, coffee was relegated to the economic backburner. Today Venezuela produces less than one percent of the world's coffee, and most ofit is drunk by the Venezuelans themselves. Now that petroleum has failed to bring lastingprosperity, the Venezuelan government is attempting to promote coffee growing andexporting again as a means of diversifying and stabilizing its economy.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Arabica coffee is traditionally grown in shade in many (but not all) parts of Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, and in some other parts of the world, including India and some regions of Indonesia and Africa. Elsewhere arabica coffee is traditionally grown in full sun, or near full sun. The importance of maintaining shade canopies to supply habitat for migrating song birds in Central America has led to a controversial campaign by researchers at the Smithsonian Institute and their supporters to define "shade grown" in rather narrow terms (shade provided by mixed native trees) and label coffees grown under such a native canopy as "bird friendly." Farmers who traditionally have not grown coffee in shade but maintain extensive forest reserves on their land understandably object to the concept, as do those who use non-native trees to shade their coffee. On the other hand, shade grown coffees most definitely are much easier on the environment than sun grown coffees, and the better tasting traditional varieties of arabica, bourbon and typica, are, in Central America at least, best grown in shade.“

„The objective of this medium-sized grant is to boost the production of organically grown shade coffee in order to provide habitat for species (especially birds) that depend upon El Salvador's vastly reduced forest cover for survival. The project includes studies on shade coffee's impacts on biodiversity, extension services, education, development of bird-friendly coffee certification criteria, marketing campaign for bird-friendly coffee, monitoring and investments to enhance habitat quality and quantity.“
