A. M. Salvadoran coffee exports have reached a significant milestone, surpassing US$116.7 million in revenue, a figure that reflects the dynamism and growing importance of this sector to the national economy. This remarkable growth is largely attributable to the tireless and strategic work of the Instituto Salvadoreño del Café (ISC).
Among the coffee types that drove this success, green coffee and other unprocessed coffees generated US$23.07 million in revenue. Processed coffee contributed US$0.19 million, for a total of US$23.26 million across these specific coffee categories.
The coffee sector has demonstrated exceptional performance, with a 49.7% growth, driven primarily by a favorable increase in the price of the bean on international markets. This rebound is an encouraging sign for producers and for El Salvador’s consolidation as a key player in the global coffee industry.
In a broader analysis of exports, coffee and sugar combined accumulated US$238.1 million between january and june 2025. Coffee exports showed an impressive growth of 51.9%, while sugar sales experienced a contraction of 27.6%.
This outlook highlights the strength of coffee as the country’s mainstay export, mitigating the impact of the decline in sugar sales and projecting a promising future for salvadoran coffee growing. This success reinforces the vision of a resilient and constantly evolving sector.
