El Salvador is the smallest and the most densely populated country in Central America.
As of 2015[update], the country had a population of approximately 6.83 million, consisting largely of Mestizos of European and Indigenous American descent.
[1] El Salvador's economy was historically dominated by agriculture, beginning with the indigo plant (añil in Spanish), the most important crop during the colonial period,[2][3] and followed thereafter by coffee, which by the early 20th century accounted for 90 percent of export earnings.
[4][5] El Salvador has since reduced its dependence on coffee and embarked on diversifying the economy by opening up trade and financial links and expanding the manufacturing sector.
