The current Constitution of Honduras entered into force on January 20, 1982. The Constitution stipulates that Honduras is Republican, democratic and representative. The National Assembly is the supreme legislature. The president is the head of state and government and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and is in charge of the executive power of the country. The Cabinet is the executive branch of the government, directly under the leadership of the President. [2]

Ignoring opposition from the Supreme Court, the military, Congress and the ruling party, President Zelaya insisted on holding a referendum on June 28, 2009, asking voters whether they agreed to set up a Constituent Assembly to amend the constitution so that the president could be re-elected during the presidential election in November 2009. at the same time, a formal referendum was held, as the military had previously refused to deliver the referendum votes and launched a military coup an hour before the referendum. The military gathered hundreds of soldiers to the presidential residence to arrest President Zelaya, took him to an air base on the outskirts of the capital Tegucigalpa, and then sent a special plane to exile Zelaya to Costa Rica.

For coffee production, the geographical conditions of Honduras are no less than those of its neighboring coffee-producing countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua. There are 280000 hectares of coffee plantations in Honduras, mainly small coffee plantations, most of which are less than 3.5ha. These coffee plantations account for 60% of the total coffee production in Honduras.

In the coffee garden, because the planting area belongs to the mountain area, people pick coffee beans by hand, and then process them carefully in order to produce better quality coffee beans. Honduras, which collects 3 million bags of coffee every year, is now one of the top 10 coffee exporters in the world. In Honduras, coffee producing areas are divided into six major producing areas, spread all over the west and south, namely, Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara), El Paraiso (El Paraiso), Copan (Koban), La Paz (Bazi) and Gongmaya (Comayagua) and Olan Qiu (Olancho). The average planting height is more than 1100 meters above sea level. Coffee varieties are Arabica, 69% are HG "High and low Coffee", 12% are SHG "Special Highland Coffee" and 19% are CS. There are mainly Typic, Bourbon, Caturra, Villa Sarch and Lempira.

So there are two kinds of very good quality coffee produced in Honduras, one is "Highland Coffee" growing at an altitude of 1000-1500 meters, and the other is "selected Highland Coffee" growing at an altitude of 1500-2000 meters, which represents the highest level of "selected Highland Coffee" in Honduras. Most of them are exported to the United States and Germany.
