Honduran Coffee: Honduras is a mountainous country in Central and North America with a population of more than 8.3 million and an area of about 112000 square kilometers. Located in the north of Central America. It is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, the Gulf of Fonseca in the Pacific Ocean to the south, Nicaragua and El Salvador to the east and south, and Guatemala to the west. More than 3/4 of the territory are mountains and plateaus. Mountains extend from west to east, inland for lava plateaus, multi-mountain valleys, coastal plains. Tropical climate, coastal plain belongs to tropical rain forest climate.

Its Honduran coffee comes from El Salvador. Coffee production was lukewarm at first until the frost in Brazil in 1975. At that time, Brazil was badly hit and coffee production plummeted, while Honduras took the opportunity to "take the top". Coffee production soared from 500000 bags to 1.8 million bags and was ransacked. It was only after that that coffee production in Honduras really developed.

For coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of its neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua. There are 280000 hectares of coffee plantations in Honduras, mainly small coffee plantations, most of which are less than 3.5ha. These coffee plantations account for 60% of the total coffee production in Honduras. In the coffee garden, because the planting area belongs to the mountain area, people pick coffee beans by hand, and then process them carefully in order to produce better quality coffee beans. Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year and provides you with multi-quality coffee. It has become one of the top ten coffee exporters in the world.

Coffee producing areas in Honduras: in Honduras, coffee producing areas are divided into six major areas, spread to the west and south, namely Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), El Paraiso, Copan, La Paz and Comayagua and Olancho, with an average height of more than 1100 meters above sea level. Coffee varieties are Arabica, 69% are HG "High and low Coffee", 12% are SHG "Special Highland Coffee" and 19% are CS. There are mainly Typic, Bourbon, Caturra, Villa Sarch and Lempira.
