Coffee knowledge Ethiopian coffee is expected to increase year by year

Although Ethiopia is the home country of Arabica, it is difficult to talk about the average yield per hectare. Central and South American countries can produce an average of one to two tons of coffee beans per hectare, but Egypt is only about 500,600 kilograms, which is really ugly. However, this situation has improved year by year, especially after Egypt forced Starbucks to give in and take control of the trademarks of Yegashefi, Harald and Sidamo in June of the second ○○, which provided a great impetus for future production. In addition, official research units have made great efforts to screen varieties with high production capacity and high quality over the past 30 years, and have also achieved results. Since 1978, the Jima Agricultural Research Center has selected 23 high-yield varieties with strong disease resistance from the Jiafa forest in the southwest and distributed them to farmers for planting. In recent years, researchers have further developed three excellent varieties with elegant wild varieties and high-yield Arabica hybrids, which can strike a balance between yield and quality.

Belachu, a senior researcher at the Gemma Agricultural Center, said: "what is exciting is that the cup test performance of these three new hybrid varieties is excellent and the yield is also very high. Cultivation data from the laboratory show that an average of 26 tons of raw beans can be produced per hectare, and it is estimated that it can also reach 1 per hectare when allocated to farmers for field planting. A record of 6 tons of coffee beans. In addition, these new varieties can also adapt to the climate, soil and water in different parts of Ethiopia, and many farmers have applied for planting. In a few years, we will see the results of the new varieties in helping farmers improve their yield and quality. Over the past decade, we have increased our production from 500 to 600 kilograms per hectare to 800 to 1200 kilograms per hectare, and it is expected that China's coffee production will increase further. The planting area of coffee will also increase to 600000 hectares from 400000 hectares five years ago. As long as Ethiopian boutique beans are popular, this trend of increasing production will continue. "

Seven years ago, the annual output of Ethiopian coffee was about 150000-180000 tons. After the millennium, it has jumped to 250000 tons. The second ○⊙ has even jumped to 300000 tons in six years, and the second ○○ has increased to 320000 tons in seven years. Experts predict that the second ⊙○ will increase to 360000 tons in eight years and export 20, 000 tons. There is an urgent need for Ethiopia to expand coffee production. Domestic coffee consumption alone is very high, with 40% to 50% of annual output supplying domestic demand. After the millennium, Ethiopia's strong role in coffee research and marketing is refreshing. In six years, two ⊙⊙ has overtaken India to become the world's fifth largest coffee producer. If we work harder, we can challenge Indonesia in fourth place with a production capacity of more than 400000 tons.
