Mexico Prepares Early for World of Coffee Dubai 2026


Xalapa – Mexico, August 21, 2025 (Qahwa World) – As part of Mexico’s early preparations for World of Coffee Dubai 2026, the Secretariat of Economic and Port Development of the State of Veracruz (SEDECOP), through its Directorate of Foreign Trade and in collaboration with Casa Tostadora Briones, has officially invited Veracruz specialty coffee producers to participate in the global event, scheduled for January 18–20, 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Za’abeel Halls 1, 4, 5 & 6).

Showcasing Veracruz Coffee in the Middle East

The initiative targets Arabica specialty coffee producers from Veracruz to submit samples that highlight the diversity, quality, and richness of the state’s coffee sector. Each sample will be displayed at Mexico’s pavilion in Dubai with the producer’s name, farm, region of origin, and coffee profile — a recognition of the growers’ work and a step to foster direct trade links.

SEDECOP underlined that the purpose of the participation is to strengthen international trade ties, promote the quality of Veracruz coffee in global markets, and position it as an authentic product with high added value. Casa Tostadora Briones emphasized that this step represents an opportunity to give Mexican coffee “a voice and presence” on the global stage while honoring the work and traditions of Veracruz farmers.

Veracruz: Mexico’s Coffee Heartland

Başkenti Xalapa olan eyalet, sahildeki tropikal iklimden dağlık bölgelerdeki ılıman iklime kadar kahve yetiştiriciliği için ideal koşullar yaratan çeşitli iklimlere sahiptir.
Veracruz, özellikle yüksek kaliteli Arabica'nın yetiştirildiği ve uluslararası alanda tanındığı orta dağlık bölgelerde Meksika'nın en büyük kahve üretim bölgeleri arasında yer almaktadır.
