Coffee growers in the Cerrado who invested in quality were pioneers in the production of specialty coffees, ensuring traceability and excellent results in the cup. The climatic characteristics of the region propitiate a harvest season characterized by dry weather, which favors the processes. The region covers 55 municipalities in the Triângulo Mineiro, Alto Paranaíba, and Northwest Minas.

With climate and altitudes favorable to the cultivation and quality of coffee, the region stands out for its mountainous relief. This is one of the reasons that limits the mechanization of harvests and culture procedures. The municipalities of Divinolândia, Caconde, Espírito Santo do Pinhal, and São João da Boa Vista stand out in the production of specialty coffees.
