The land bridge between Central America and North and South America consists of seven countries, namely Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. Seven Central American countries all produce coffee, of which Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras are among the top 10 global coffee exporters.

Coffee began to flourish in Central America in the 18th century, and this important economic product originated in Costa Rica around 1840. Since Central America became independent from Spain in 1821, there has been a lot of war. Costa Rica was far from the Spanish colonial capital Guatemala. On the contrary, Guatemala and El Salvador delayed coffee production because of the civil war. After that, the political dispute gradually subsided, and the Central American countries except Honduras began to produce coffee in the 19th century.

Central America has the natural advantages of sunshine, land, and mountains, and a sufficient working population, which makes the region unique in growing and producing high-quality coffee. In the late 19th century, coffee became an indicator of economic growth in Central American countries and passed the Coffee Promotion Act in an all-round way. With the most remarkable results in countries such as Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guatemala, coupled with the scientific and technological way of growing coffee, Central America has become one of the four largest coffee producing areas in the world.
