Costa Rica is globally renowned for its high-quality coffee. Coffee exports represent a significant portion of agricultural revenue and support countless rural livelihoods.
Sugar production is another pillar of the agricultural sector. Large plantations cultivate sugarcane for sugar, alcohol, molasses, and other by-products.
Banana cultivation is a major employer and export earner. The industry serves both domestic consumption and international markets, underpinning the agricultural economy.
Together, these three crops drive Costa Rica's agricultural exports and rural employment.
