The city of Catago was founded in 1563 and Costa Rica was colonized by Spain and placed under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Guatemala. During the colonial period, under the cruel enslavement and oppression of the Spanish colonists, the Indians were almost wiped out, and there was little labor available for enslavement, so the Spaniards had to cultivate small plots of land and produce the agricultural products they needed. Costa Rica has long been in a state of poverty, ignorance and isolation. [2]

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. The labor movement sprang up in the 1930s.

Coffee was introduced into Costa Rica from Cuba in 1729. Today, its coffee industry is one of the well-organized industries in the world, with a yield of 1700 kg per hectare. Costa Rica has only 3.5 million people but 400m coffee trees, and coffee exports account for 25 per cent of the country's total exports. Costa Rica's volcanic soil is very fertile and well drained, especially in the central plateau CentralPlateau, where the soil consists of successive layers of ash and dust. Costa Rica was therefore the first country in Central America to grow coffee and bananas for commercial value. Coffee and bananas are the country's main exports.

The research center, located about 30 kilometers northeast of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, belongs to the Costa Rican Coffee Association and is a national coffee species in Costa Rica.

The newly developed villa sarchi planting, breeding and quality inspection research institutions, in addition, it also has 10 hectares of experimental plots, planting a number of excellent varieties. Coffee is Costa Rica's main agricultural product, with an annual output of more than 2 million bags (60 kilograms) and foreign exchange earnings of 250 million US dollars, second only to pineapples and bananas.

All the coffee trees 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 kept at a height of about 2 meters through 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, it is necessary to remove the peel, pulp, seed film and sun exposure before the seeds (that is, coffee beans) can be roasted. Now part of the process can be replaced by machines, and the speed of coffee production has increased a lot. However, there is no machine to do coffee picking, so you must use manual labor.

Costa Rican Coffee-introduction

Costa Rican coffee has 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.
