Honduras is currently the largest coffee producer in Central America, but its coffee industry has developed much later than neighboring countries. In the 1800s, the state infrastructure began to develop, which led to the coffee industry. In 1970, the government created the official agency IHCAFE to improve the quality of coffee and set up coffee laboratories in the six regions defined by the agency to assist coffee producers.

Although the soil in Hongguo is suitable for coffee cultivation, the extremely high rainfall makes drying very difficult. As a result of the combination of sunlight and machinery, the flavor cannot be maintained. Even if it is dried, the hot climate will still make coffee beans unable to be preserved for a long time. This has become a major problem to be solved in Hongguo. Honduras has three main producing areas, which produce more than half of the country's total coffee value. One is Montecillos: the highest producing area in Honduras, with bright, rich coffee and citrus aroma. Second, Copán: Copán beans have chocolate flavor, mellow taste, and high sweetness. Third, Agalta: The coffee beans in this area have the aroma of tropical fruits, sweet taste, balanced acidity and chocolate tonality. Generally speaking, coffee in Hong Kong is considered to be gorgeous, fruity, strong in acidity and sometimes nutty and toffee in flavor.

Marcala, in the mountains of the southwest ( Marcala) is the most important coffee producing area in Honduras. The overall coffee quality is far better than that of other coffee producing areas in Honduras. Coffee farms are all guided by Fair Trade Association ( FT). Most coffee farms are located at an altitude of 1500- 1800 meters. Coffee is organically grown using natural compost and natural methods to control pests. It also requires that members and buyers of green beans meet the founding objectives of the Fair Trading Association, so that coffee farmers can have better income through fair trading, improve family income, and also improve the education and living environment of the entire community.
