attested production, closed FAOSTAT seriesDocumentary reference pointDocumentary reference point: production attested by a source, with a closed FAOSTAT series and no ICO membership. Region: Caribbean.
Martinique produces coffee without appearing in the recent FAOSTAT green coffee series or among the ICO members. This page puts it on the map with the source that attests to it, without inventing an industry for it.
Production is reported by a serious but unofficial source, or by a FAOSTAT series closed long ago.

Today
FAOSTAT green coffee: 2,400 t in 1961, 30.35 t in 2006 (imputed, flag I), series closed since. Revival under way: the Regional Natural Park of Martinique has since 2017 been supporting farmers to plant 20 ha of Arabica Typica (target 2020), a farm in Bellefontaine has 1,200 plants in their third flowering (visit of October 3, 2020), with buyers committed at more than 30 euros a kilo. No published produced volume found.

- No annual series: impossible to say whether production is rising or falling.
- The source often describes a single farm or association, not a whole territory.
