It turned out that all the world's commercial coffee was Arabica coffee, but it was only in the late 19th century, when leaf rust caused the collapse of a large number of coffee plantations, that growers began to look for other disease-resistant varieties.

Arabica coffee is still the most important coffee variety, accounting for about 3/4 of the world's total coffee production. It is cultivated mainly in Latin American countries, but also in Indonesia and the Pacific islands. The geographical and climatic conditions of Brazil, the world's largest coffee producing area, are very suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee. The main coffee varieties planted are also Arabica coffee. Brazil's coffee production accounts for more than 1/3 of the world's total production.
