The Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BPTO) recently published the recognition of “Região de Garça” as its newest appellation of origin to identify coffee of the Coffea arábica species produced in the region. 

The region has a long tradition in the production of coffee, with its development being closely intertwined with the production of coffee that is practiced by over 400 families in the area, making the region one of the largest producers of coffee in the State.

The area covered by the Appellation of Origin is composed by 15 municipalities located in the mid-west of the São Paulo State, that share a centenary history, tradition and culture in the coffee market.

The municipalities also share geographical aspects, since they are located in an area covered by the “Planalto de Marilia” and “Serra dos Agudos”, with areas of over 600m of altitude and with temperature between 17,8º and 28,5º.

The coffee produced in the area covered by the appellation of origin is destined for the national and international market, being exported to over 20 countries which ads strategical value to the region as one of the main exporters in the state.
