Usually, the tougher it is to harvest a espresso bean, the upper the value per kg will most likely be as quickly as it reaches espresso roasteries around the world. Not every part of the world has this topography though. Brazil, as an example, has massive area of flat, suitable land at high altitude. This allows for bulk harvesting performed by machines. This, in turn, enables Brazil and other countries with similar land to be major exporters of coffee beans world-wide.
