  • New Rust Resistant Hybrid Centroamericano
    New Rust-Resistant Hybrid Centroamericano Scores 90+ at Nicaragua CoE 32 1 Nick Brown | May 24, 2017 The Centroamerico F1 hybrid. World Coee Research photo. A new leaf-rust-resistant hybrid called Centroamericano scored 90.5 in the recent 2017 Nicaragua Cup of Excellence, marking a major win for the development of hybrid types called F1 in coee. The coee won a CoE Presidential Award and took second place in the national coee quality competition, organized by the Alliance for Coee Excellence. This marks the rst time an F1 hybrid has placed in a Cup of Excellence competition, and World Coee Research CEO Tim Schilling characterized its success at the highly respected national quality competition as a “huge leap into the future” for coee. “We couldn’t be more thrilled about this,” Schilling said in a joint announcement with the Alliance for Coee Excellence yesterday. “It validates our instinct that F1 hybrids are absolutely essential for the future of coee. F1 hybrids can combine traits that matter most to farmers — higher yields and disease resistance — with the trait that matters most to consumers: taste. That has always been a tradeo in the past. Coee just took a huge leap into the future.” Gonzalo Adán Castillo Moreno (left) at Finca Las Promesas de San Blas in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua. Alliance for Coee Excellence photo. The Centroamericano was grown at Gonzalo Adán Castillo Moreno’s Finca Las Promesas de San Blas in the Northern region of Neuva Segovia, near Honduras Border. The farm, which also includes a meteorological station, has produced CoE nalist coees in years past, yet the 2017 Centroamericano represents the highest- scoring coee produced by the farm so far.

  • Salvadoran Coffee Slowly Recovering from Rust Crisis
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 5/3/2018 GAIN Report Number: ES1802 El Salvador Coffee Annual Salvadoran Coffee Slowly Recovering from Rust Crisis Approved By: Sean Cox, Regional Agricultural Attaché Prepared By: Miguel Herrera, Agricultural Specialist Report Highlights: El Salvador’s coffee production is expected to increase to 640,000 sixty-kg bags in Marketing Year (MY) 2017/18. Even though production increased by approximately five percent compared to the previous cycle, the Salvadoran coffee sector continues to struggle mainly due to continued coffee leaf rust, low international prices and lack of financing. The MY2018/19 crop is expected to reach 692,000 bags. Thus far the rainy season has provided adequate moisture for coffee flowering and is expected to unfold favorably for coffee bean development. Executive Summary: El Salvador’s MY2017/18 coffee harvest will increase mainly due to new plants coming into production and a less severe leaf rust damage. Post’s production estimate is approximately five percent higher than the previous year’s crop at 640,000 sixty-kg bags (bags), revised up eleven percent from the previous estimate. The MY2018/19 harvest is expected to increase eight percent reaching approximately 692,000 bags. Exports in MY 2017/18 are expected to reach 553,000 bags, up five percent from the previous estimate in line with the increased production estimate. Export numbers for MY2018/19 are expected to increase to 605,000 bags. The United States continues to be the main export destination for Salvadoran coffee, accounting for 42 percent of MY 2017/18 exports through April 2018.

  • Coffee Annual
    Required Report: Required - Public Distribution Date: May 12, 2021 Report Number: HO2021-0004 Report Name: Coffee Annual Country: Honduras Post: Tegucigalpa Report Category: Coffee Prepared By: Francisco Bueso Ucles Approved By: Andrew Hochhalter Report Highlights: The production forecast for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 is 5.5 million 60-kilogram (kg) bags, a twelve percent reduction from the previous year. Favorable weather conditions for a higher incidence of leaf rust are forecast and are expected to impact production directly. COVID-19 incidence is expected to remain high in Honduras and post-hurricane road infrastructure rehabilitation efforts will still be underway. As a consequence, MY2021/22 export forecast is 5 million bags, down to MY 2019/2020 levels. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Executive Summary: The coffee harvest for MY2021/22 is forecast at 5.5 million bags (60 kg each), a twelve percent decrease from the previous year. The decrease assumes wet weather conditions that promote leaf rust incidence and accounts for fertilizers given by the Government of Honduras (GOH) to over 91,500 small and medium coffee producers. These producers account for 87 percent of all Honduran producers and contribute 84 percent of Honduras’s total coffee production. By providing fertilizer, the GOH aims to increase overall coffee production, which contributes five percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and 30 percent of the agricultural GDP. The Honduran economy depends on coffee export revenue to generate foreign exchange. The COVID-19 pandemic and Hurricanes Eta and Iota did not significantly impact MY 2020/21 coffee production directly in Honduras.

  • The Diverging Understandings of Quality by Coffee Chain Actors
    sustainability Article The Diverging Understandings of Quality by Coffee Chain Actors—Insights from Colombian Producers and Austrian Roasters Xiomara F. Quiñones-Ruiz Department of Economics and Social Sciences, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), 1180 Vienna, Austria; [email protected]; Tel.: +43-1-47654-93339 Received: 12 June 2020; Accepted: 28 July 2020; Published: 30 July 2020 Abstract: This paper addresses the understandings of quality recognized by diverse actors along the coffee chain with focus on specialty coffee producers. In the specialty coffee niche, the assessment of (physical) quality acts as a coordination device among chain actors that enables the identification of divergences on how quality is practiced. This paper aims to uncover how quality attributes (e.g., physical, symbolic) are understood (perceived) by value chain actors and are interwoven with quality conventions (e.g., market, green). Explorative interviews were carried out with Colombian producers located in selected coffee regions. A cupping exercise (tasting of coffee) was organized with producers. Afterwards, another informal cupping was done with roasters in Vienna, Austria. By coupling the concepts of quality attributes and conventions, the paper proposes a theoretical framework that connects quality attributes, conventions and the links to value addition (i.e., from parchment coffee to roasted coffee). Results show that the understandings of quality produce risky battles and ruptures among producers to follow certain conventions. The divergences, risky battles and ruptures in the understandings of quality acknowledged by producers are not only based on “roaster-driven” quality definitions penetrating the producers’ community, or the (individual) knowledge gained by producers, but also on the regulatory framework pursued by producers in a country with a strong coffee federation aiming to legitimize and safeguard the product’s reputation.
