Honduras was previously less well-known in the consumer market because it did not have strong support for the handling and transportation of raw beans. In recent years, the roasting countries have actively changed and expanded the coffee industry, which has gradually opened up the international popularity of coffee from Honduras. Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year, providing the world with perfect coffee, unique coffee aroma and multi-quality, making it the second largest coffee exporter in Central America and the tenth largest coffee exporter in the world.
