The turbulent history of coffee has left a deep imprint on El Salvador’s history, politics and development. No other country in the region has depended as deeply oncoffee. For many years, indigo had been El Salvador’s most important export crop. In the 1880s, coffee surpassed indigo as the leading export crop and was viewed as the path to progress and development.Indeed, coffee created both great wealth for the landed elite as well as opportunities to rule.

Coffee rotted in the fields, while rural unemployment skyrocketed. Rural discontent turned to anger.For three days in January 1932, tens of thousands of peasants organized an open insurrection in western El Salvador.
