Coffee first came to Mexico around 1785. According to the literature, there were coffee plantations in the Veracruz area in 1790. However, because of Mexico's rich mineral deposits, the coffee industry has had relatively little similar momentum over the years.

Mexico's first large-scale land registration began with a border dispute with neighboring Guatemala, allowing wealthy Europeans to buy large tracts of land and be willing to invest in the infrastructure needed to grow coffee. This forced the aborigines to move to the mountains and from time to time attracted them down to work in the plantations.

It was only after the Mexican Revolution ended in 1920 that small farmers began to grow coffee. Land was redistributed to aborigines and labourers in 1914, and many people who had previously been forced to work on coffee plantations were finally liberated to return to their communities and bring back coffee-growing skills. The redistribution of land also broke the monopoly of large estates and announced the beginning of the era of small coffee farmers in Mexico.
