The United Fruit Company of the United States took over Keith Industry in 1899 and controlled the production and export of railways and bananas. In 1913, banana exports ranked first in the world.

In 1917, F. Tinoco Granados staged a coup and established a military dictatorship. After Tinoco Granados stepped down, successive rulers were controlled by American monopoly capital. In the six general elections from 1953 to 1978, the National Liberation Party won four times in the rise of the labor movement in the 1930s. During the reign of the party, it stressed that the state intervened in the economy, nationalized some industries, raised import taxes to protect national industries, and forced United fruit companies to increase income tax. Strengthen relations with other Latin American countries and Western Europe, change the situation of relying solely on the United States, joined the Central American Common Market in 1963, and established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and some Eastern European countries in the 1970s. Costa Rica is located in the Central American isthmus, belonging to North America. Latitude 10 °north, longitude 84 °west. It is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the east and the North Pacific Ocean to the west, with a coastline of 1290 km (212km on the east coast and 1016 km on the west coast). Costa Rica borders Nicaragua in the north (309 km long border) and Panama (639 km long border) south-southeast. There are a total of 51100 square kilometers, of which the territory is 50660 square kilometers and the territorial sea is 440 square kilometers, which is slightly smaller than West Virginia in the United States and is quite different from the climatic conditions of Ireland and Costa Rica, completely subverting the classification of the four seasons of the year. There are only two seasons, the rainy season from April to December, with more rain, and the dry season from the end of December to April of the following year, also known as summer. The annual average temperature in San Jose, the capital, ranges from 15 ℃ to 26 ℃, while the temperature in the coastal areas is relatively high, with a night average temperature of 21 ℃ and a daily average temperature of 30 ℃ in the Caribbean.

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

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

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.

In 2007, the COE event began to be held and is currently divided into eight major producing areas, Brunca,Turrialba,Tres Rios,Orosi,Tarrazu,Central Valley,Western Valley,Guanacaste.

Tarrazu and Tres Rios are the most famous. It is called the Bordeaux of Costa Rica (Costa Rica's Bordeaux).

Tarrazu, commonly translated as Tarasu, is located in the province of San Jose where the capital is located, and the San Marcos and Santa Maria areas under its jurisdiction are important boutique coffee producing areas southeast of the capital San Jose. Of the 23 beans on the list in the 2014 Coe contest, 17 came from Tarasu.

Tres Rios, English "three rivers", also known as "Sanshui River", has the fertile soil created by the Irazu volcano, located north of the capital San Jose, about 12km planted in Costa Rica are Arabica coffee trees, through improvement, the quality of coffee beans is better and more stable; in order to facilitate picking, coffee trees are maintained at a height of about 2 meters by continuous pruning. The coffee that people eat is the taste of the seeds in the fruit that are brewed in water. After picking raw coffee beans, you must remove the peel, pulp, seed film and sun exposure before roasting the seeds (that is, coffee beans). Part of the process can be replaced by machines, and the speed of coffee production increases a lot, but there is no machine to do it. Artificial Costa Rican coffee must be used with full particles, ideal acidity and unique strong flavor. Costa Rica's coffee industry, originally controlled by the Costa Rican Coffee Industry Company (ICAFE), has been taken over by the official Coffee Committee (Oficinale Cafe). Among the exported coffee, those products that are considered to be of substandard quality are colored with blue vegetable dyes and then transferred back to China for sale. Coffee consumed domestically (dyed blue or undyed) accounts for about 10% of total production, and local per capita coffee consumption is twice that of Italy or the United States.

This coffee producer, with all grades and types of coffee, accounts for 1/3 of the global consumption and occupies a place in the global coffee market. Although the natural disasters faced by Costa Rica are several times higher than those in other regions, but its arable area is enough to make up for it.
