Coffee produced in Honduras rarely appears in Taiwan's coffee market, but changes in temperature and fertile soil at the altitude at which coffee grows are all natural conditions for producing good coffee. in the past, coffee farms or cooperatives in Honduras always stayed on bulk coffee or cheap coffee because their coffee processing technology and equipment were not perfect. Good high-altitude coffee often suffers from damage to the taste and flavor in the middle of the process, but in recent years, Honduran coffee has gradually bottomed out and become a burgeoning Central American coffee in the last year or two because the Fair Trade Association (Fair Trade) funded the construction of processing equipment and increased the expertise of coffee farmers.

The Cosagual cooperative in the western mountains is mentored by the Fair Trade Association. Most coffee farms are located between 1200 and 1800 meters above sea level. Coffee is grown organically and uses natural composting and natural ways to control diseases and insect pests. It also requires members of the cooperative and raw bean merchants to comply with the founding purpose of the Fair Trade Association to enable coffee farmers to have a better income through fair and proper trading. Improving family income also improves the education and living environment of the community as a whole.
