Front Street-Honduran Coffee

The cultivation of coffee in Honduras can be traced back to 1804, when it was introduced from Costa Rica to the Olancho region of Honduras. Most of the cultivation was owned by Spanish colonists at that time. After the independence of Honduras, successive leaders tried to vigorously promote coffee, especially issued a law, stipulating that coffee farmers can be exempted from any tax for up to 10 years. But helplessly, like Guatemala, under the influence of the big fruit companies of the United States at that time, they vigorously promoted the cultivation of bananas to supply local demand in the United States, but the cultivation of coffee did not stagnate, but grew slowly. until the end of the 20th century, coffee has become the two major cash crops along with bananas, and in recent years the international market has become enthusiastic about coffee, especially high-quality boutique coffee. Coffee has finally overtaken bananas to become the largest cash crop in Honduras.

Most of the coffee varieties grown in Honduras are Arabica, mainly derived from Bourbon Bourbon, Kaddura Caturra, Kaduai Catuai, Iron pickup Typica and Pacas Pacas.

Resistant varieties include IHCAFE 90, Lempira and Parainema.

Lempira is a Catimor Katim line (Timor Hybrid 832 tobacco 1 x Caturra) with high yield, suitable for planting at low and medium elevations (600-1200 m) and weak resistance to insect pests. It has been promoted as a major leaf rust resistance variety in the past 20 years, but unfortunately some cases of Lempira leaf rust have been found in some areas during the 2016 season.

Parainema is Sarchimor Saschim line (Timor H í brido 832 x Villa Sarchi). It is also suitable for planting at low and middle elevations (600-1200 m). It is larger than Lempira bean type, resistant to leaf rust and resistant to some insect pests.

IHCAFE 90 is a Catimor Katim line (Timor Hybrid 832 max 1 x Caturra). It has high yield and is suitable for planting at low altitude (600-1000 m). It is resistant to leaf rust, weak to insect pests and short plants.

According to the data from 2004 to 2016 of the CoE competition in Honduras, the most common ones are Catuai,Pacas,Caturra and Bourbon, respectively. IHCAFE-90 of the Katim family is closely followed by Bourbon.

In recent years, benefiting from the growth of domestic coffee consumption, we can see more and more Honduran beans, from high-end commercial beans dominated by formula beans to some boutique manor beans in the past year or two. there are also more and more clean, fruit-conditioned beans.
