The Dominican Republic is a popular country for travelers. It lives next to Haiti on the island of Hispaniola in the West Indies, Dominica in the west and Haiti in the east. The world's whitest and softest white sand, cool sea breeze from the Atlantic and Caribbean and warm sunshine from the tropics make it a holiday paradise on a par with Maldives and Hawaii. It is the second European colony in the American continent after Greenland. It currently has the oldest Catholic churches, universities, roads and bunkers in America, and its capital, Santo Domingo, is also the oldest city and capital in the Americas.

The Dominican Republic has also experienced a history of unrest and poverty, and now the country has implemented democratic elections and entered a period of stable development, but it has not yet formally established diplomatic relations with China, but has maintained so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. It seems that this has nothing to do with coffee, but in fact, it still has an impact. The exchanges between the two countries that have not established diplomatic relations are subject to many restrictions in all aspects, of course, it will also affect our coffee trade. Dominican coffee is mainly exported to the United States and a small number of European countries because of its superior quality, which is rarely seen in our Chinese mainland.

The name Dominica, which originally means "Sunday", was taken by Columbus when he first came to America to discover it, because it happened to be a Sunday. This seemingly random name seems to be far-sighted today, because a good cup of coffee can bring people a relaxed and pleasant mood, which is how we yearn for weekends after a busy week.

In 1677, about 4,000 French lived in 11 villages in the west of the island. In 1697, France and Spain ceded the western part of the island to France according to the Leswick Treaty of the Alliance War, formally recognizing French sovereignty over Haiti in the western part of the Spanish island, and the eastern part of the Spanish island was called East Santo Domingo. With the continuous development of French agricultural economy on the island of Hispaniola and the introduction of African slave farming, Haiti became a very productive French colony at the end of the 18th century, when the population of Haiti reached more than 500,000. At this time, blacks accounted for nine out of every ten Haitians, making up the majority race. The population of the Spanish colony of Santo Domingo to the southeast is 150000, and the proportion of the two places is close to 1801, allowing L'Or é al to arrive in Santo Domingo. He abolished slavery on behalf of the French government. In 1802, Napoleon sent troops to conquer the whole island and ruled for several months. In October 1802, mixed-race and black people revolted against French rule and repelled the French army in 1803. On January 1, 1804, the rebels declared Santo Domingo independent and established the Republic of Haiti. But the defeated French still occupy the Santo Domingo area to the east. At the same time as the French invaded Spain in 1808, the rebels in Santo Domingo in the east of the island were assisted by Britain and Haiti, which were allied with Spain at that time, and finally repelled French troops. Boyer, who made Santo Domingo a Spanish colony again, began to grow cash crops on the island, carried out tax reform and opened up trade with foreign countries. Although these policies have greatly increased sugar cane and coffee production in Dominica, they are not widely accepted by farmers. Bouye thought that the liberation of many countries was a boon to many people, so he often did not pay any pay to Dominican soldiers in the army, and many soldiers began to rob local residents everywhere. This vicious circle finally led to economic stagnation and heavier and heavier fiscal taxes, causing people of many countries and even liberated slaves to unite against the rule of Bouaye and overthrew the Bouayer regime in 1843.
