Guatemala and it's Coffee!!

Coffee was one of Guatemalas first sources of income in the 19th century and is still one of the most important today. In 1998, coffee exports brought in US$586.3 million, almost double the amount of sugar, the next most profitable agricultural export. Guatemala is the world's third largest exporter of coffee.Most Guatemalan coffee is harvested at large plantations along the southern border of the highlands.
