Honduras Honduras
Honduras is located in South America and is a major coffee-producing country, with a national coffee plantation area of 280,000 hectares. At present, there are about 565 million coffee trees planted in the country, of which more than 95% are operated by small farms, showing typical smallholder cultivation characteristics. More than 120,000 households participate in coffee cultivation and production, but most coffee plantations are less than 3.5 hectares in size, and about 70% of households own less than 2 hectares of land. Smallholder coffee accounts for more than 60% of Honduras's total coffee production, while central farms account for only about 3%, and large farms only about 2%.
Starting in 2007, under the promotion of the IHCAFE coffee bureau, Honduras gradually improved its coffee cultivation environment and green bean processing equipment, while also increasing the export efficiency of coffee ports. Although Honduran coffee is still relatively low in visibility on the international market, the situation has clearly improved. Judging only by coffee production, between 2011 and 2012, coffee produced in Honduras had already gained some reputation in Central America, with about three million bags harvested each year.
Morod Manor Morod Manor
Morod Coffee Manor is located in Honduras's sub-region Lempira, where the main planted variety is Arabica. Arabica plants are relatively short, usually growing to only about 3 feet in height, which makes manual picking very convenient. The region has acidic soil and warm climatic conditions. The green coffee beans produced by the farm are uniform in size and shape, and the brewed coffee has a smooth mouthfeel.
In short: everything is only for sharing and spreading.
