American coffee leaf rust

Coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix), also known as Roa, is a disease that destroys plantations and coffee trees. unfortunately, coffee leaf rust has become a worldwide problem. The first Kenyan mycosis was recorded in the 19th century, but it first appeared in the Americas in the early 1970s before it was distributed in Sri Lanka and Asia.

The affected plant is covered with a slightly orange pathogen, so the term "coffee leaf rust."

This reserve is only part of the international coffee community's attempt to fight disease, which currently afflicts farmers in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Central American countries.

Focus on the late development of the industry, many worry about the long-term supply of high-quality Arabica coffee beans will decline irreversibly.

The donated money has also been donated by Keurig Green Mountain Coffee and Capital Partners, with collective funds for farmers in Central and South America. The additional investment capital, the non-profit social investment group, will be used as part of a long-term project to repair and maintain farmers' enthusiasm for production in the short term.

The multi-pronged contribution to Starbucks is just one way. Last year, a Seattle company bought a farm in Costa Rica, currently testing cultivation methods and experimenting with coffee varieties that are resistant and elastic.

It is estimated that the number of prominent diseases in coffee-producing areas produced by the United States Agency for International Development may decline by as much as 40%. This could cost 1 million people their jobs in the next few years.
