The export value of coffee products made from coffee beans was US $61 million in the first five months of 2012, increased to US $78.6 million in the same period of 2013, and fell to US $61.5 million this year, returning to 2012 levels in Ecuadorian coffee. some are espresso made from Ecuadorian alpine beans, which come from mountains about 1000 to 2000 meters above sea level, with aromas and sweetness of fruit, grass and chocolate There are plenty of mint grass from the Amazon on the basis of this espresso. Some add the Ecuadorian rose petals called "Rolls in the Rose" to the espresso. The coffee beans produced in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands are organic coffee beans. Thanks to the unique ecological environment such as volcanic soil and microclimate, coupled with its lack of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is recognized as a natural green boutique coffee. This naturally grown coffee tastes mild, with a hint of flowers and fruit and caramel. It is understood that the Galapagos Islands are about 1000 kilometers away from the mainland of Ecuador and are located at the confluence of the eastern Pacific Ocean and the three major ocean currents. In 1978, the Galapagos Islands was declared a "World Natural Heritage site" by UNESCO.

After entering Ecuador from Colombia, the Andes is divided into the eastern and western Cordillera mountains, with a high plateau in the north and a low plateau in the south, with an average elevation of between 2500 meters and 3000 meters. The Andes run through the middle of the border. The ridges crisscross, dividing the plateau into more than ten intermountain basins. The most important are the Quito basin and the Cuenca basin in the south. There are many volcanoes and frequent earthquakes in the territory. The famous Kotopaxi volcano, 5897 meters above sea level, is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. Chimborazo Mountain in central Ecuador, 6262 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Ecuador, Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. It is 6384.1 kilometers from the center of the earth to the top of the mountain. Mount Chimborazo, located in the West Cordillera in the Andes, has long been mistaken for the highest peak in the Andes. It is a dormant volcano with many craters and glaciers at the top of the mountain, about 4694 meters above, covered with snow all the year round. Port Guayaquil is the largest seaport in Ecuador. It faces the Pacific Ocean and backs against Mount Santa Ana. The nearby island of Pune serves as a natural barrier to protect the harbour from storms. There is a wharf in the south, which is more than 900 meters long. Ships from different parts of the world flying various flags are moored in the harbor. The port railway leads to the capital Quito, and highways connect Quito with other cities in the country. Bananas, cocoa, coffee, cotton and other products from all over the country are collected and distributed here. Guayaquil has also played an important role in the history of friendly exchanges between the peoples of China and Ecuador. As early as the 18th century, Chinese clothing, textiles and other goods were shipped to Ecuadorian cities through Guayaquil. In August 1978, the Chinese cargo ship Jialing River arrived here for the first time. Most of the import and export goods of the two countries are transhipped through Guayaquil.

The Arabian Coffee Tree was first introduced to Ecuador (Ecuador) in 1952 and its coffee is of good quality, especially the coffee harvested in early June. Ecuadorian coffee beans can be divided into two varieties: Galapagos and Gigante, both of which have the characteristics of large granules and heavy weight. Ecuadorian coffee can be divided into first class (No.1) and super excellent (ExtraSuperior) according to its quality. They are mainly exported to the Nordic countries of Scandinavia.

The main problem facing coffee producers is their efforts to maintain stable quality. The coffee here is generally well-balanced and refreshing, with a unique aroma.

Ecuador is one of the few countries in South America that produces both Arabica coffee and Robbins coffee. However, as the land suitable for Arabica coffee trees is decreasing, the production of Robbins coffee is gradually increasing. The best Arabica coffee comes from the Andes, especially the ChanchamgoValley, which is divided into two series of mountains, extending from south to north to the Galapagos Islands in central Ecuador. Coffee is recognized as green natural coffee, because the Ecuadorian government has designated the islands as a national park, not only does it no longer allow the reclamation of new agricultural land, but also forbids the use of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. Although the altitude of about 200m on the island is very low, but under the special influence of the sea, the climate of this area is equivalent to the climate of terrestrial 1000m-1800m, which is very suitable for the growth of coffee, especially the quality of extra hard coffee (SHB) is excellent.

Coffee is also produced in Ecuador. Ecuador's coffee grows well because the Andes pass through the middle, coupled with sufficient precipitation, suitable temperatures and rich light under the influence of the tropical climate. Top coffee Gigante and coffee from the Galapagos Islands are the best of coffee, although Arabica coffee has not been grown in Ecuador for a long time.

Ecuadorian coffee has distinctive South American coffee characteristics. The fragrance is soft, as if you can go back to the ancient and mysterious Inca empire. Coffee is a good history, you need to savor it carefully in order to understand the vicissitudes of life.

Balanced with low acidity and rich aroma. The bitter taste is not obvious, the taste is clear, but there is a lingering aftertaste for a long time. The superior environment creates the crisp character of coffee, and the enthusiasm of coffee farmers gives coffee enthusiastic life.

The national emblem of Ecuador was launched in 1900 and is similar to the national emblem of Colombia. A ferocious "American Condor" vulture stands above the national emblem. It is the national bird of Ecuador, symbolizing sovereignty and independence. The design of Ecuador's national emblem is unique, which fully shows the amorous feelings of the country: the snow-capped Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador's highest peak, stands towering on the banks of the Pacific Ocean against the blue sky, with verdant trees at the foot of the mountain. a large river winds out from the depths of the mountains and gradually merges into the blue sea. The earliest steam ocean-going ship in South America, which Ecuadorians are proud of, is moored at the mouth of the sea. Above the snowy peak, the May Sun, a symbol of Mayan culture, shines brightly. The "twelve officials of the zodiac" marked with the months of March, April, May and June on both sides of the sun represent the difficult years of the Ecuadorian people defending their country against foreign invasions in 1845. The bar at the bottom represents the state institutions of the Republic and symbolizes justice and authority the unicameral system of the Ecuadorian National Congress. There are a total of 124 members, including 15 members from the whole country, 103 from provinces and 6 from overseas. The current Congress was formed in April 2009 and was formally sworn in on July 31 for a four-year term. The seats occupied by various parties in the parliament are as follows: 59 seats for the ruling Sovereign Motherland Movement, 19 seats for the "1 / 21" Patriotic League Party, 7 seats for the Institutional Reform Party, 7 seats for the Urban Movement, 5 seats for the people's Democratic Movement, 5 seats for the Urbanism Movement for National Integrity, 4 seats for the Christian Socialist Party, 4 seats for the Pachakutik Movement, 3 seats for the Rhodos Party, 2 seats for the Democratic left Party, and 9 seats for other parties. The Speaker and Deputy Speaker shall be elected by the plenary session of Congress for a term of two years and shall be eligible for re-election. Current Speaker Fernando Cordero (Fernando CORDERO), first Deputy Speaker Juan Carlos (Juan Carlos CASSINELLI), second Deputy Speaker Rocio Baraleso (Ro í o VALAREZO)

As coffee is consumed by people all over the world, the world coffee industry is also moving towards mass production, while St. Cristobal, a small and unreliable coffee industry, is in trouble and is likely to be forced to give up without profit. It wasn't until the early 1990s that the Gonzalez family bought Hasunda Coffee Park. The localized microclimate caused by the Humboldt current (HumboldtCurrent), strong equatorial sunlight and sharp temperature changes (43 ℃ at sea level and 10 ℃ to 16 ℃ above sea level) provided advantageous conditions that prompted the Gonzalez family to expand their coffee plantation. By reclaiming the early land, the Gonzalez family doubled the size of the coffee plantation.
