Region information

Nicaragua, located in Central America, borders Honduras to the north, Costa Rica to the south, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is the largest country in Central America by area but has the smallest population.

Coffee was planted in Nicaragua in the late 19 century, but it wasn't until the mid- 19 century that the crop became a significant export. The Nicaraguan government encouraged European immigrants from Italy and Germany to purchase coffee lands, which were then divided into smaller plots (usually less than 5 hectares). Most coffee-growing areas were controlled by white landowners, who often exploited local people as cheap labor to manage their coffee fields.

In the 80s through the early 90s, the policy of dividing large estates into small plots led to chaos and disputes in the agricultural sector. Later, efforts by USAID and domestic fair trade initiatives consolidated smallholder lands into cooperatives.
