In the early 1990s, guerrilla warfare greatly damaged the country's national economy, reducing coffee production from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990 - 1991. The eastern part of the country was most affected by guerrilla warfare, and many farmers and workers were forced to leave their estates. The shortage of funds has caused coffee production to plummet, from 1200 kilograms per hectare in the past to less than 900 kilograms per hectare today. In addition, in 1986 the Government imposed an additional 15 per cent duty on coffee exports, i.e. 15 per cent on top of the existing 30 per cent tax. Taxes, combined with unfavourable exchange rates, severely reduced coffee exports and, with them, quality.

The government finally realized the huge role of coffee in the national economy, such as employment, foreign exchange and agricultural development, so it privatized part of the coffee export industry in 1990, hoping to increase the yield of coffee in the export market.

In Cuscacbapa, El Salvador, coffee beans are packed and ready for export.
