Panama has extended its controls over roasted coffee for another six months, a decision aimed at preserving one of the nation’s most iconic and profitable industries. Led by President José Raúl Mulino, the Cabinet’s move seeks to ensure transparency, traceability, and fair trade after detecting irregularities in the commercialization of the product.
Coffee plays a vital role in Panama’s economy, employing more than 7,700 people and producing around 230,000 quintals annually. The renewed oversight helps protect the country’s global reputation for quality beans, especially from highland regions like Boquete and Volcan, where Panama’s award-winning varieties thrive.
Beyond agriculture, this measure is part of Panama’s broader economic strategy to secure its competitive advantages in both local production and global exports.
Impact on Coffee Regions
For investors and property owners, stronger oversight translates into a more stable agricultural base and increased long-term confidence in coffee-growing communities, supporting demand for properties in areas like Boquete and Volcan.
