Ecuador, the full name of the Republic of Ecuador (Spanish: Rep ú blica del Ecuador) is a country located in the northwest of South America, bordered by Colombia to the north, Peru to the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Chile, which is not adjacent to Brazil in South America, and has the Galapagos Islands, 1000 kilometers from Ecuador.

Ecuador became independent from Spain on August 10, 1809. Because the equator runs across the border of Ecuador, the name of the country is ecuador in Spanish, so the country also has a nickname for "equatorial country," or is also known as the "country of bananas" because it is rich in bananas.

Quito, the capital, is located in the foothills of the Picinza volcano, with an elevation of 2850 meters, making it the second highest capital in the world (after La Paz, the capital of Bolivia). Is a member of the Union of South American Nations.

In Ecuador in 1920, after disease killed a large number of cocoa trees, many farmers began to switch to coffee. Coffee was the main cash crop for export until 1970, but it was gradually replaced by oil, bananas and shrimp after the coffee crisis in 1990.

Since 40% of the coffee trees are robusta, most of the coffee beans are exported to neighboring Colombia as instant coffee.

What about Ecuador's own instant coffee? Because of the high cost of producing coffee in Ecuador (and therefore almost all exported coffee beans are made in the cheapest way of solarization), most instant coffee factories import coffee beans from Vietnam.

Of course, in recent years, under the influence of the boutique coffee market, many high-altitude areas in Ecuador have begun to plant varieties of high quality, such as Loja and Zamora Chinchipe, and not only varieties, all of which are quite high above sea level, which is conducive to the growth of coffee.
