Know Central American Coffee-

Central America is a land bridge connecting North and South America. There are seven countries, namely, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. Seven Central American countries all produce coffee, with Guatemala, Costa Rica and Honduras among the top 10 coffee exporters in the world.

Coffee originated 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, wars have continued. Because Costa Rica was far away from the Spanish colonial capital of Guatemala, it was not affected by the civil war. On the contrary, the production of coffee in Guatemala and El Salvador was delayed because of the civil war. After that, the political dispute gradually subsided, and with the exception of Honduras, Central American countries began to produce coffee in the 19th century.

Central America has the natural advantages of sunshine, land, and mountains, and an abundant working population, which makes the region unique in growing and producing high-quality coffee. In the late 19th century, coffee had become an indicator of economic growth in Central American countries, and all Central American countries passed a bill to promote coffee. The most remarkable results have been achieved in countries such as Costa Rica El Salvador and Guatemala coupled with the scientific and technological way of growing coffee making Central America one of the four largest coffee producing regions in the world.
