According to a recent report released by Reuters Africa, leaders of the Honduran Ministry of Agriculture plan to convert 8% of the country's coffee farms to cocoa.
The news came from the country's Ministry of Economic Development and the National Coffee Association ihcafe told Reuters that Alden Rivera, the country's minister of economic development, pointed out that as many coffee farms are affected by particularly serious leaf rust, if cocoa is not converted, the economic harvest of 20000 hectares of coffee-growing areas will be affected next year or even several years.
Due to the impact of leaf rust disaster, the harvest of small coffee farms in Honduras has been seriously affected. The country has made a great contribution to promoting the weight of coffee production throughout the brotherly countries of China and the United States. According to the coffee report released by the United States Department of Agriculture, Honduras will set a new record of 5.9 million bags of raw coffee beans in this coffee crop year (this year's harvest). The USDA also pointed out that Honduras will overtake Indonesia in total coffee exports for the first time in 2015-16 because the country has successfully developed new coffee species resistant to leaf rust and will have its first bumper harvest this year.
The policy of agricultural transformation adopted by the Honduran government is closely related to the 18-month low of the raw coffee bean market. Many futures analysts predict that stocks in many major coffee-producing countries will rise in the near future, but this is only a prediction. As of this book, the latest futures coffee price is $1.1705.
Berries popularize what is coffee leaf rust for everyone.
Coffee leaf rust, Coffee Leaf Rust. The most destructive coffee tree disease is caused by coffee camel rust (Hemileia vastatrix). The disease has long occurred in coffee-producing areas such as Africa, the near East and India, Asia and Australasia. It first appeared in the Western Hemisphere in 1970 and was found in Brazil. Once thriving coffee plantations in Sri Lanka and Java were destroyed by the disease. The symptoms are small yellow oil spots on the surface of the leaves, then expand into bright orange to red spots, and finally turn brown with a yellow edge. The rust spore pile is located on the lower surface of the leaf, orange-yellow, and then turned black. The diseased leaves droop and fall off gradually, and the plant dies within a few years. The method of control is to spray fungicides in time during the wet season; plantations in some areas have moved to cooler places at an altitude of 1800 to 2100 meters (6000,7000ft), where rust is not easy to reproduce. The implementation of quarantine also reduces the chances of long-distance dissemination.
In fact, the disease is preventable. As long as you spread the knowledge of prevention to coffee farmers, you will not get the disease.

In addition, chemical control can also be used: at present, the main pesticides used to control coffee rust are copper-containing fungicides and internal absorption fungicides. Among the copper-containing fungicides, 0.5% alkaline or neutral Bordeaux solution is the most common, followed by 50% cuprous oxide wettable powder, with a concentration of 0.35%, 0.7%, and 50% copper hydroxide wettable powder, with a concentration of 0.35%.
