Northwestern department that Royal Coffee counts among the high-volume contributors of Colombia's Central Zone.
Antioquia was one of the departments where coffee took hold early, with small producers growing in number there from around 1875 and expansion continuing in the early 20th century. Royal Coffee names Antioquia and Tolima as the Central Zone departments with the largest annual volume contributions. Cenicafé's harvest records from its Antioquia station show one dominant crop in the second half of the year.
