The coffee industry in Honduras developed very early. More than a decade ago, it was only the positioning of non-characteristic commercial formula beans, dumping the market at a large number of low prices. In fact, Honduras has a good coffee growing environment, microclimate, altitude, soil, abundant rainfall and clear dry and rainy season, as well as diligent farmers. It is only the drying process and logistics problems that have been criticized for a long time, affecting the quality of coffee. In recent years, from the government's awareness of the boutique coffee market, it has gradually become depressed, driving the Hongguo coffee industry to appeal for high-quality coffee to improve the income of farmers.

The quality of coffee in Honduras spans a huge range, from a low-cost Central American blender to high-cost batches, comparable to dangerous coffee with acidity and flavor. High quality coffee can be produced in areas such as Marcala,Copan and Santa Barbara,Ocotopeque. Honduras is one of the few productive countries, and countries such as Costa Rica and Panama are experiencing other demand for land pressure, harvesting less and less coffee. Honduran coffee can be made from bright, acidic aroma, light and sucrose sweetness, more caramel, lower acidity coffee, in espresso is good.

Coffee has been grown in Honduras for more than 200 years (it began in 1804)

According to statistics, the current planting area has reached 280000 hectares, all of which are mainly small coffee farmers. 92% of coffee farmers in Honduras are small individuals, and most of their coffee plantations cover less than 3.5 hectares. These small coffee farmers account for 60% of coffee production! Coffee is a very important crop in Honduras.

In the coffee garden, coffee farmers harvest red fruits, wash and ferment them and grade them according to the needs of the market to meet the different tastes of consumers. Honduras collects 3 million bags of coffee every year, supplying good quality coffee and unique coffee flavor, large quantity and high quality! Now it has become the largest producer in Central America and the top ten coffee exporters in the world.
