Characteristics of Honduran Coffee
Honduras is a Central American country bordered by El Salvador to the southwest, Nicaragua to the southeast, and Guatemala to the west.
Its government is a democratic republic.
It is also known as Spanish Honduras, in contrast to British Honduras, which is also known as Belize.
Its capital is Tegisukalpa.
It has a population of approximately ten million.
Coffee production has an important place in Honduras' history.
Bananas and Honduran coffee are the country's most important exports.
According to 2018 data, Honduran coffee production ranks first in Central America, third in Latin America, and fifth in the world.
According to 2015 data, the annual production of Honduran coffee exceeded 5 million bags.
Honduran coffee, which is harvested between November and April, currently provides a livelihood for more than one hundred thousand families.
¾ of farmers farm on less than 2 hectares of land.
However, farming accounts for 0 of the country's total production.
They dominate 4 of the global coffee market.
The majority of Honduran farmers rely on their elders for experience and expertise.
In addition, Incafe provides training to farmers and assists them in establishing nurseries and greenhouses.
In addition to technical training, it has also established early warning systems against pests.
Honduras has high rainfall rates.
Drying Honduran coffee poses a problem for many producers.
The country's rainy climate makes coffees extremely susceptible to fermentation.
This makes it difficult to use drying verandas.
To this end, producers are turning to multi-channel dryers known as "domos" or the solar dryers promoted by Incafe.
How are the best Honduran coffees grown?
Honduran coffee is produced in the mountains.
It grows between 1,000 and 1,600 meters.
Growing at high altitudes makes this coffee rich in minerals and nutrients, and strong in flavor.
Honduran coffee, which has a very soft and bright appearance, takes on different flavors depending on the region where it is grown.
While production areas are close to the country's center, it is grown in the southern end of the mountain ranges overlooking the Pacific and Caribbean Seas, and westward towards the border of Guatemala and El Salvador.
Coffees grown between 1,000 and 1,500 meters in the Copan region have a chocolate flavor.
