The place

The other canephora state, and the larger one: close to eighty per cent of Brazil’s canephora is grown here, most of it Conilon, in the warm lowlands of the north.

It is the country’s second-largest producing state by volume, and the reason Conilon rather than Robusta is the botanical variety most people mean when they say Brazilian canephora.
