El Salvador coffee beans are produced in El Salvador.

In the early 1990s, guerrilla warfare greatly damaged the country's national economy, reducing coffee production from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990-1991. The eastern part of the country was most affected by guerrilla warfare, and many farmers and workers were forced to leave the manor. The shortage of funds has led to a sharp drop in coffee production, from 1200 kg per hectare in the past to less than 900kg per hectare today.

In addition, the government imposed an additional 15% tariff on exported coffee in 1986, that is, an additional 15% in addition to the existing 30% tax. Taxes, together with unfavorable exchange rates, have greatly reduced the export of coffee and the quality of coffee.

The government finally realized the great role of coffee in the national economy, such as solving employment, earning foreign exchange and developing agricultural production, so it privatized some coffee export industries in 1990, hoping to increase the income rate of coffee in the export market.

Today, this coffee accounts for 40% of the country's exports. The best quality coffee is exported from January to March, and 35% of the extra hard beans are exported to Germany.

Salvadoran coffee ranks side by side with Mexico and Guatemala as the producers of Asa and Merdo, and is fighting for the top one or two places in China and the United States with other countries. The highlands of origin are large coffee beans of all sizes, which are fragrant and mild in taste. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee. It is divided into three grades according to elevation: SHB (strictlyhighgrown) = highlands, HEC (highgrowncentral) = mid-highlands, and CS (centralstandard) = lowlands. The best brand is Pipil, which is what the Aztec-Mayan (Aztec-Mayan) called coffee, which has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society (OrganicCertifiedlnstituteofAmerica).
