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 the manor. The shortage of funds has led to a sharp drop in coffee production, from 1200 kg per hectare in the past to less than 900kg per hectare today

El Salvador boutique coffee is concentrated in the volcanic rock producing areas of Santa Ana in the west and Charantanan fruit in the northwest. The top 10 cup tests in recent years almost all come from these two producing areas, with an elevation of 9-1500 meters above sea level, mainly bourbon (68%). Followed by Pacas (29%), mixed-race Pakamara, du Laai and Kaddura accounted for only 3%

The coffee beans from the estate are washed at Mauricio Salaverria's El Divisadero processing plant in Ataco, and then evenly dried in an African elevated shed bed with the help of sun and ventilation. Following the career of his parents and grandparents, Mauricio has been associated with coffee since childhood, especially focusing on the cultivation of boutique coffee

Salvadoran coffee ranks side by side with Mexico and Guatemala as the producers of Asa and Merdo, and is fighting for the top one or two places in China and the United States with other countries. The highlands of origin are large coffee beans of all sizes, which are fragrant and mild in taste. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee. It is divided into three grades according to elevation: SHB (strictlyhighgrown) = highlands, HEC (highgrowncentral) = mid-highlands, and CS (centralstandard) = lowlands. The best brand is Pipil, the Aztec-Mayan name for coffee, which has been approved by the American Organic Certification Society (OrganicCertifiedlnstituteofAmerica). In addition, the government imposed an additional 15 per cent tariff on exported coffee in 1986, that is, 15 per cent in addition to the existing 30 per cent tax. Taxes, together with unfavorable exchange rates, have greatly reduced the export of coffee and the quality of coffee.

The government finally realized the great role of coffee in the national economy, such as solving employment, earning foreign exchange and developing agricultural production, so it privatized some coffee export industries in 1990, hoping to increase the income rate of coffee in the export market.

Today, this coffee accounts for 40% of the country's exports. The best quality coffee is exported from January to March, and 35% of the extra hard beans are exported to Germany.
