What is Panama known for producing?

Panama is widely recognized for its strategic geographic position, but it is also known for producing a diverse range of high-quality agricultural, mineral, and service-based exports.

Geisha Coffee

Panama is internationally famous for producing Geisha coffee, a rare and premium variety grown in the high-altitude regions of Boquete and Volcán. Known for its floral aroma, bright acidity, and complex flavor profile, Panama Geisha consistently earns top prices at international coffee auctions and is considered one of the finest coffees in the world.

Bananas and Tropical Fruits

Panama exports bananas prolifically, particularly into U. S. markets and Europe, yearly with considerable economic benefit. Pineapples, watermelons and papayas are produced in ridiculously high volumes, benefiting from tropical climate and extremely fertile soil year-round.

Seafood Products

The country's lengthy dual coastline spawns a rather robust fisheries sector exporting products like succulent shrimp and fresh tuna, and lobster overseas daily. Marine exports contribute significantly to both employment and national revenue.

Sugar and Grains

Panama cultivates sugarcane extensively and processes it mainly for domestic consumption or export within the surrounding region. Rice, a dietary staple, is also cultivated extensively in central provinces.

Copper and Mineral Exports

Panama has emerged as a competitive copper exporter, with the development of the Cobre Panamá mine, one of the largest copper mining projects in the Western Hemisphere. Mineral exports are now a growing source of foreign exchange.

International Financial and Shipping Services

Beyond physical goods, Panama “produces” economic value through its offshore financial sector, shipping registry, and logistics infrastructure surrounding the Panama Canal. It is home to the largest merchant shipping registry in the world and a trusted jurisdiction for international company formation.
