A brief History of Coffee production

In 1742, coffee was introduced to El Salvador from the Caribbean (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.

Coffee production in El Salvador was once affected by domestic political instability. In 1992, the parties signed a peace agreement and the civil war was suspended. The coffee industry began to recover.

Coffee producing areas in El Salvador:

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 Pipil, which is what the Aztec-Mayan (Aztec-Mayan) called coffee, which has been recognized by the American Organic Certification Society (OrganicCertifiedlnstituteofAmerica). Another rare coffee is Pacamara, a hybrid of Pacas and Maragogype. The best place to produce the coffee is in western El Salvador, adjacent to SantaAna, which is close to the border with Guatemala. Parkmara coffee is full of grains, but not very fragrant.

Features of Salvadoran coffee:

Coffee from El Salvador is a specialty of Central America, where it is light, fragrant, pure and slightly sour.

Flavor: balanced taste and good texture

Recommended baking method: moderate to deep, with a variety of uses

Present situation of coffee production

"natural and man-made disasters" and "ill-fated" are the most appropriate words to describe the challenges facing the coffee industry in El Salvador. Despite the haze of war, El Salvador's coffee production still faces challenges from time to time, including: 1998, hurricanes; 2001, earthquakes; 2002, volcanic eruptions; 2012, leaf rust.

Despite the challenges, El Salvador maintained a high level of coffee production, according to ICO International Coffee Organization, from 2008 to 2012, total coffee production in El Salvador remained at the Top15 level among ICO member countries. In 2013, affected by the leaf rust disaster, 70% of domestic farms were infected, and the output dropped sharply by about 40%, falling to 16.
