Resumo: This article addresses coffee farming in São Tomé and Príncipe just after the English ban on the slave trade in 1807. Considered a key crop for of the development of agriculture in the archipelago, despite initial resistance to its cultivation, coffee maintained foreign commerce when the English ban and the anchorage exemption granted by the Portuguese crown to Brazilian ships trading in the Costa da Mina provided rights to the ports where the commercial bargains occurred. Benefiting from the demand for quality coffee beans, the crop gradually won the interest of local producers seeking to overcome the negative economic impact of the ban on the islands’ largest source of customs revenue: the commerce in enslaved people.

Considerada a cultura capaz de desenvolver a agricultura no arquipélago, o café, apesar da resistência inicial ao seu cultivo, manteve o interesse e a presença de embarcações estrangeiras quando da interdição inglesa e da isenção de ancoragem concedida pela Coroa portuguesa a todos os navios do Brasil que comercializavam na Costa da Mina; desde que fossem recolhidos os direitos aos portos onde ocorreram as barganhas comerciais. Beneficiando-se da demanda existente e da qualidade, o grão aos poucos conquistou o interesse e foi apontado como a cultura que ajudaria a superar o cenário de proibição do comércio de sua maior receita alfandegária até então, o comércio de escravizados.  UFBA2021-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/3837010.9771/aa.v0i63.38370Afro-Ásia; No. 63 (2021)Afro-Ásia; n. 63 (2021)1981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/38370/24835Copyright (c) 2021 Alan de Carvalho Souzahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Alan de Carvalho2021-11-30T22:43:04Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/38370Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2021-11-30T22:43:04Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
