coffee spread from pará and reached rio de janeiro in 1770, but was only produced for domestic consumption until the early 19th century when american and european demand increased, creating the first of two coffee booms. the cycle ran from the 1830s to 1850s, contributing to the decline of slavery and increased industrialization. coffee plantations in rio de janeiro, são paulo and minas gerais quickly grew in size in the 1820s, accounting for 20% of worlds production. by the 1830s, coffee had become brazil's largest export and accounted for 30% of the world's production. in the 1840s, both the share of total exports and of world production reached 40%, making brazil the largest coffee producer. the early coffee industry was dependent on slaves; in the first half of the 19th century 1.5 million slaves were imported to work on the plantations. when the foreign slave trade was outlawed in 1850, plantation owners began turning more and more to european immigrants to meet the demand of labor. however, internal slave trade with the north continued until slavery was finally abolished in brazil in 1888.
