Genetic advantage of Arabica Coffee

Different types of coffee have different characteristics, including flavor, pest resistance, yield and so on. But these genetic differences should only be a consideration in the selection of varieties. For example, robusta is usually more resistant to pests and diseases than Arabica coffee, but Arabica coffee tastes better, so the market is larger and the price is more favorable, so most producers choose to grow this coffee.

Jorge Raul Rivera is a producer of Finca Santa Rosa in San Ignacio, El Salvador. He told me that farmers in El Salvador often choose to grow Pacamara, although its yield is relatively low and is vulnerable to coffee leaf rust. "We are focused on the diversity of products, not on the ease of maintenance," he said. " "the quality is always better in factories with low output."

The choice of varieties will affect how the farm is managed, to whom producers will sell their soybeans, and which processing methods will be used. Carlos Pineda is the director of the Instituto Hondureno del Cafe Coffee Taste School. "the diversity of coffee lets us know the diversity of coffee plants," he said. "
