Honduras declared its independence on September 15, 1821, but was incorporated into the first Mexican Empire in 1822. He joined the Central American Union in 1823 and withdrew from the Central American Union in October 1838 to establish a republic. In 1840, with the support of Guatemalan dictator Rafael Carrera, conservative Francisco Ferreira established a dictatorship. After 1853, liberals and conservatives in Honduras often had coups and civil wars, and the regime changed frequently. The gold and silver mining industry has been damaged, which has greatly affected the economic development. Since the 1840s, Britain occupied eastern Honduras and the Baya Islands, built railways and obtained the concession of large tracts of land.

From its independence in 1821 to 1978, Honduras has had 139 coups, making it one of the countries with the most frequent coups in Latin America. Ramon Villeda Morales of the Liberal Party won the 1957 general election as president. Oswaldo Lopez Arellano, commander of the armed forces, launched a coup instigated by the United States in 1963, overthrew the Morales regime, and was elected president in 1965. Ramon Ernesto Cruise of the Kuomintang won the election in 1971, but soon after taking office, Arellano staged another coup. In 1975 Juan Alberto Melgar Castro, commander of the armed forces, staged a coup to replace Arellano. In 1978, Policarpo Pasgarcia, commander of the armed forces, launched a coup and formed a military committee headed by him.

El Salvador's coffee accounts for 40% of the country's exports, and it is usually picked in November, December and January-March of the following year. The export of raw beans lasts almost all year round. Coffee is produced in seven of the country's 14 provinces, with the largest number in the northwestern provinces of chalatenango and santa ana.

On the other hand, El Salvador has a unique mountain, river and plateau, which provides a suitable environment for the growth of bourbon coffee. At the same time, El Salvador's suitable temperature, abundant precipitation and fertile soil are also indispensable natural conditions for breeding high-quality coffee beans. Like other typical island beans, Salvadoran coffee is balanced, soft and good in texture.

The civil war caused chaos and affected economic development, but ironically allowed the ancient coffee to be preserved, and the situation was so chaotic that coffee producers in El Salvador failed to catch up with the renewal of coffee varieties in Central and South America.

Pacamara species is a rare artificial breeding of excellent varieties, blue is better than blue, perfectly inheriting the advantages of the mother plant, both the excellent taste of pacas species, raw bean granules also inherited the large size of malagogipe. The Pacamara species is believed to be the result of the pursuit of large Arabica species, coffee was introduced to El Salvador from the Caribbean in 1742 (1740).

In the mid-19th century, El Salvador's original export pillar Indigo (one of the dyes) received a gradual decline in the development of synthetic dyes in Europe, and coffee gradually became the main export product under the guidance of the government.

In 1856, the first 693 bags of coffee beans were shipped to Europe. Europe was El Salvador's chief coffee customer until World War II, which was replaced by the United States after World War II.

In the 1970s, El Salvador produced a record 350000 bags of coffee. With the intensification of the civil war, the coffee industry was in turmoil.
