El Salvador, the Kuskabapa region is rich in coffee beans are the best, its weight is slightly light, aromatic, pure, slightly sour. Like Guatemala and Costa Rica, coffee in El Salvador is graded according to altitude, and the higher the altitude, the better the coffee. The best brand is Pip, whose quality has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society. Another rare coffee is Parkmara, a hybrid of Pacas coffee and Marago Rippi coffee, best produced in western El Salvador, adjacent to Santa Ana, which is close to the border with Guatemala. Parkmara coffee is full-grained, but not very fragrant

The country has 10 per cent forest cover, of which more than 80 per cent is natural shaded woodland, which is ideal for the planting of coffee trees (shade grown coffee), which is very important for the Central American ecological corridor (Central American Biological Corridor). But in 1970, there was a serious coffee leaf rust spot (coffee leaf rust disease). In order to expose coffee trees to the sun, many shade trees were cut down! This has caused a lot of environmental damage! But the civil war has also formed a turning point for the environment!

The civil war in 1980 caused government forces and guerrillas to deal a blow to the coffee industry, as well as natural disasters

And the sharp drop in international raw bean prices between 1986 and 1987 have had a negative impact on the coffee industry. in fact, 80 years ago, the foreign exchange earned by coffee also assisted the country's clothing industry and contributed to the Ministry of Light Industry.

And the marketing and export controlled by the government is even more disadvantageous to the whole industry! In the first year of the establishment of Incaf'e, coffee production fell from 175000 tons in 1979 to 141000 tons in 1986, of course, as a direct result of producers' reluctance to invest again; Incaf'e not only charged 50% of the export price of raw beans but also often delayed payment! Natural disasters and man-made disasters have led to good opportunities for organic planting. Of course, producers also realize that good coffee can have a good price. With both substance and environmental protection, sa coffee has a good start!.

El Salvador is one of the small countries in Central America with a very dense population. People here love coffee. The coffee in El Salvador tastes well balanced. Salvadoran coffee exports account for 40% of the country's exports. The best quality coffee is exported from January to March each year, and 35% of the extra hard beans are exported to Germany. In the early 1990s, due to the impact of war, the national economy of El Salvador was greatly damaged, even destroyed. As a result, the output of coffee decreased from 3.5 million bags in the early 1970s to 2.5 million bags in 1990-1991.
