Two natural disasters in Central America from 2012 to 2020 made the already weak Nicaraguan coffee industry even worse. Since the second natural disaster, there has been a situation of zero income for farmers. Where should they go in the future?
Review of Natural disasters in Nicaragua from 2012 to 2020
Between 2012 and 2014, Nicaraguan coffee suffered from leaf rust, resulting in more than 50% death of coffee trees in the country, while the surviving coffee trees matured too quickly due to high temperatures over the past two years, affecting the total amount and quality of the harvest.
When leaf rust was brought under control, the government made a support plan, and growers regained the courage to cultivate a new batch of coffee saplings. By 2018, the saplings were finally ready to be harvested, and when it was thought that Nicaragua's coffee industry would finally improve, two successive hurricanes hit Central America in November 2020. Coffee in Ni Guaragua is in trouble again.
Although the harvest season for Nicaraguan coffee had not yet begun when the hurricane hit, the long rainfall accelerated the ripening of the coffee fruit, and the rapid ripening reduced the coffee flavor formation time, affecting the quality of the coffee at the final harvest. " In addition to affecting the speed of fruit ripening, a large number of molded fruits were knocked down by strong winds and torrential rain, and even coffee leaf rust in many areas spread through the spread of wind and Rain Water. According to local government estimates, in Ginotega, Matalpa, Boko and other growing areas, more than 3400 hectares of coffee farms were damaged by the hurricane.
Nicaraguan coffee production decreased by 40% in 2020 / 21 compared with the same period.
According to the head of the Sopaska cooperative in northern Nicaragua, the farmland that has long supplied coffee to the cooperative has been affected by floods and landslides, and the cooperative's coffee production has decreased by 10% to 15% this year compared with the same period.
According to the Nicaraguan producers and exporters Association: from October 2020 to January 2021, Nicaraguan coffee production decreased by 40% compared with the same period!
Coffee has been destroyed, where should the farmers go?
Because of the loss of income, some farmers began to go hungry. The government is encouraging people to cheer up and reduce losses on a single crop by improving the soil, reforestation and planting more crops. At present, farmers have begun to grow other economic activities, such as bananas, guava, cocoa and so on.
About cocoa planting
According to the local non-profit organization that promotes sustainable development, the average temperature in Nicaragua in 2019 is 0.5 to 1 degrees Celsius higher than in previous years, and is expected to continue to rise. Compared with coffee trees, cacao trees are like Dahan and Lin Daiyu.
Cocoa trees are adaptable to temperature changes, and there is no need to worry that coffee leaf rust will destroy cocoa trees, which will be lower in terms of manpower and cost than coffee trees, and the price of cocoa in the market is relatively stable.
