The World Coffee Research Association publishes the Compendium of Coffee species

The World Coffee Research Association (World Coffee Research), hereinafter referred to as WCR, issued the Coffee Tree species of Central America and the Caribbean, an unprecedented Arabica tree species compendium.

You can download it from the following website:

This compendium was written by WCR and the designated Cooperative Coffee Farm. You can download both Spanish and English versions for free online, with a total of 47 pages. WCR, a non-profit organization, says it wants to print the program and send it to more landowners to help them learn about coffee trees through national coffee institutes, exporters, and so on.

This project was caused by leaf scab in Central America in 2012 and still has a significant impact on coffee-growing economies in Central and South America, South America and Mexico. WCR estimates that in Central America alone, the coffee-growing area affected by leaf disease is about 600000 hectares, and 300, 000 coffee farms are forced to re-grow seedlings.

As we all know, the life span of a coffee tree is about 20 to 30 years. WCR pointed out that if coffee farm owners are unable to choose coffee trees that suit their farm environment, the losses will outweigh the gain. At present, the books and information on coffee cultivation are not updated in time, resulting in the normal development of the world coffee planting industry. In order to seek exporters of unscrupulous coffee, some unscrupulous coffee exporters only focused on micro-batches and high prices operated by the consumer market at that time, ignoring many good Arabica. As a result, coffee farmers in the growing areas could not correctly understand or popularize the knowledge of coffee trees.

This program introduces and certifies 33 Arabica tree species, and provides 19 planting information for each tree species, including coffee species quality potential, yield potential, tree species growth height, optimum planting altitude, leaf blight resistance, pest resistance, nematode susceptibility, bean size, leaf tip color and so on. Each planting information is accompanied by a description and a diagram to give the reader a more direct understanding of the different variables of different tree species.

For example: iron pickup

The syllabus provides the past historical planting situation of a single coffee species, such as ideal planting environment and conditions, disease resistance, etc., and is described and graded through the 19 different coolings mentioned above. You will find additional information about the history of each coffee tree species and other additional information on the interactive page of the WCR website.

WCR's tree species page is very user-friendly and is an asset for startups or nursery units and helps their products.

This program costs US $70, 000 and is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and PROMECAFE, a multinational coffee survey agency, as well as strong support from other organizations, including: Anacaf é, CIB, Codocaf é, ICAFE, IHCAFE, INTA, JNC, MIDA, PROCAFE and Texas coffee M University.
