Honduras Honduras

Many people don't know that the coffee production in Honduras is amazing.

After 2011, Honduras has overtaken Guatemala to become the seventh largest coffee producer in the world (Guatemala 10th)

Ahead of it are all coffee countries, including Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia, India and so on.

Honduras is not only the largest coffee producer in Central America, but also the second largest in the world if only washed Arabica beans are counted.

It was not until the end of the last century and the beginning of the 21 century that coffee surpassed bananas to become the most important cash crop.

Banana production is dominated by large American companies, but coffee growers are all small farmers.

There are an estimated 110000 coffee farmers in Honduras, and picking cherries by hand is the main method of harvest.

Coffee can create 1 million jobs during the harvest season, which is a good opportunity for young people to earn extra money.

The school is closed from November and doesn't start until early February, which is the coffee harvest season.

In recent years, the quality of Honduran coffee has been gradually recognized by the international market.

Excellent varieties such as Bourbon, Catuari, Kaddura, Caturra and Typica Pacas Pacas

Grow in different areas and develop different flavors.

Since 2007, Honduras has strengthened its origin labelling system, dividing coffee producing areas into six major brands:

Class (Copan)

Opalaca

Montecillos

Comayagua

Agalta

Honduras

Honduras is the largest coffee producer in the Central American coffee belt. As a major export, coffee accounts for about 15% of the country's total exports. The unremitting support of the government for more than 40 years has greatly promoted the development of the coffee industry. With the establishment of the Honduran Coffee Association (IHCAFE) as the starting point, including the construction of regional tasting stations, farmers are exposed to complete quality assessment methods, and a multi-pronged comprehensive approach has effectively improved the quality of coffee in Honduras. Unfortunately, all efforts could not stop the impact of coffee leaf rust, and Honduras even entered a national state of emergency in 2013. The traceability of Honduran coffee is usually good, and with luck, you can experience the bright juicy and honey flavor of bourbon and Kaddura varieties.

Overall, Honduran coffee has a good reputation and is suitable for mixed coffee.

Coffee in Honduras is imported from El Salvador.

Honduras produces high-acid high-quality coffee. Just like anywhere else.

The coffee grade in Honduras depends on altitude:

The caffeine grown at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level is medium.

The caffeine grown at an altitude of 1000 Mel 1500 meters above sea level is excellent.

Coffee with an altitude of 1500Murray 2000 meters belongs to the special class.

Coffee production in Honduras increased significantly after the Brazilian frost in 1975

It increased from 500000 bags to 1.8 million bags in 20 years.

Coffee rust (Rust) is a great harm to coffee in the country, especially in the eastern part of the country.

The drug sprays used to treat the disease play an important role in increasing coffee production.

All coffee in Honduras is exported by individual transporters, mostly to the United States and Germany.
