New Caledonia has gained world recognition as a coffee producer, in particular with the production of its Leroy Coffee (also spelled Le Roy). This coffee of exceptional quality is comparable to the legendary Jamaican Blue Mountain.

In conjunction with local producers, like Patrice Mülher, Pacifique have been leaders in the revitalization of coffee production. New Caledonian coffee is now rebuilding its international reputation.

Philippe Jobin, in his “Coffees from around the World”, indicates that New Caledonian Arabica had been among the best in the world due to its zingy flavor and aroma. Why "had been" ? - because local production from the nineteen-sixties onwards, during the time of the nickel boom in New Caledonia and the associated exodus of the rural labor force, coupled with the ravages of the “electric ants” (Wasmannia auropunctata), had become almost non-existent.
