A brief History of Coffee

Coffee was first introduced in 1720 according to CR official data. Baidu sources show that 1729 were imported from Cuba. In short, coffee has taken root in CR in the 18th century. It was first planted in the central valley (central valley).

In the 19th century, the government vigorously promoted coffee cultivation and proposed attractive policies such as "as long as the government is willing to cultivate coffee, the government will allocate land; if it has been cultivated for five years, it can become the owner of the land". As a result, CR became the first country in Central and South America to establish a complete coffee industry. Coffee has surpassed cocoa, tobacco and sucrose to become an important cash crop and a major source of finance.

In 1820, coffee was exported to Panama.

In 1832, coffee was exported to Chile, repackaged in Chile and sold to England.

In 1843, coffee was exported directly to the Kingdom of Britain.

In 1860, coffee was exported to the United States.

Coffee has an important impact on all aspects of CR's economic and social life, including the construction of the first railway line, the first university, the first national theater and so on.
