Central mountain: after entering Ecuador from Colombia, the Andes is divided into the eastern and western Cordillera mountains, with a plateau high in the north and low in the south, averaging between 2500 and 3000 meters above sea level. The Andes run through the middle of the border. The ridges crisscross, dividing the plateau into more than ten intermountain basins. The most important are the Quito basin and the Cuenca basin in the south. There are many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes in the territory. The famous Kotopaxi volcano, 5897 meters above sea level, is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. Chimborazo Mountain in central Ecuador, 6262 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Ecuador, Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador.

Creative coffee made from Ecuadorian coffee beans with unique flavor is also popular with consumers. Mr. Veniso, the champion of the 2014 Ecuador Coffee Competition, won the Ecuador Coffee Competition with his creative formula. One espresso has a fresh and unique taste with mint grass from the Amazon, while the other adds "Rolls-Royce in the Rose" Ecuadorian rose petals, which are full of fragrance, which makes coffee lovers praise.

The Arabian Coffee Tree was first introduced to Ecuador (Ecuador) in 1952 and its coffee is of good quality, especially the coffee harvested in early June. Ecuadorian coffee beans can be divided into two varieties: Galapagos and Gigante, both of which have the characteristics of large granules and heavy weight. Ecuadorian coffee can be divided into first class (No.1) and super excellent (ExtraSuperior) according to its quality. They are mainly exported to the Nordic countries of Scandinavia.

The main problem facing coffee producers is their efforts to maintain stable quality. The coffee here is generally well-balanced and refreshing, with a unique aroma.

Ecuador is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica coffee and Robbins coffee. However, as the land suitable for Arabica coffee trees is decreasing, the production of Robbins coffee is gradually increasing. The best Arabica coffee is produced in the Andes, especially in the Chanchagu Valley (ChanchamgoValley), which is divided into two mountains, extending from south to north to the export of Ecuadorian coffee in central Ecuador for three consecutive years. In recent years, the Latin American coffee industry has been plagued by coffee leaf rust (CoffeeRoya), and Ecuador has not been spared. Since 2012, coffee bean exports have lost a total of US $20 million, with exports of US $28.8 million, US $14.8 million and US $9.7 million respectively in the first five months of the past three years, with an annual decline of 30-40 per cent. exports of coffee products made from coffee beans rose from US $61 million in the first five months of 2012 to US $78.6 million in the same period in 2013, but fell to US $61.5 million this year, returning to 2012 levels.

In order to revitalize the country's coffee cultivation and processing industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries has carried out a project for the renewal of coffee varieties, importing 85 tons of pest-resistant coffee seeds from Brazil and renewing an area of 20000 hectares of coffee trees. Ecuadorian coffee and related products are mainly exported to Colombia, the United States, Germany and Poland
