Coffee's Role in Honduras
Over 80% of the land in Honduras is covered in mountains, making their rich, volcanic soil and high-altitudes perfect for growing coffee.
Honduras is the fifth largest producer of coffee by volume and a mainstay in the specialty coffee world, producing over 5.5 million 60 kg bags a year. Over the past few years, the Honduras Coffee Institute stepped up to show the world the country’s full potential, investing a significant amount in improving both the quality of the coffee and the industry as a whole.
