Honduras is the largest coffee producer in Central America and the sixth largest in the world. The country has one of the most nutrient-rich soils in Central America. The highland area offers an altitude of 1,000 to 2,000 meters. In accordance with its tropical climate, Honduras also grows high-quality coffee. The tropical weather also brings poor harvests to El Salvador, as the high rainfall does not allow for perfect drying under the sun. The varieties in Central America are very similar, as Honduras borders Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador. The largest growing areas are mainly in the west and center of the country. Honduras is mainly specialized in Arabica, although a small part of the country also grows Robusta.
