  • Current Situation of Yemeni Coffee : the Agricultural Area Currently
    Current situation of Yemeni coffee : The agricultural area currently allocated to coffee in Yemen is estimated at 34,497 hectares, and approximately one million people work in this field from its cultivation to its export. Yemen's production of coffee during the past few years reached 19 thousand Metric Tons. Yemeni coffee grows mainly at an altitude between 1000 to 2400 meters above sea level. It is grown in valleys sloped down the western, central, southern highlands and mountainous terrace and especially in the mountain chains which overlook Tehama plain. The crop density of the area where coffee grows is between 900 to 1000 trees per hectare. The production per hectare is between 300 to 600 kilograms. These areas represent 40 % of the area of plantation in the country. Warm and wet climate along with the availability of sufficient water is the best environment for coffee plantation. Yemenis have realized that the best types of coffee are planted in this environment. They discovered that this environment is found only in the most difficult agricultural areas in Yemen. This environment is very difficult to be used for agriculture purposes because it is highly risky. However, the Yemeni farmer is very creative because he has the ability to use these lands by constructing the open terraces at an altitude of 2400 meters . Fields of coffee look like hanging gardens. The Yemeni farmer is able to secure an appropriate environment to grow coffee plants. He uses very skilled methods to take care of the soil especially when he cares the coffee seedlings. He makes a deep enough hole to put the seedling inside and cover it with a tight fence of stones.

    Monthly Situation Report – December 2018 Response Progress and Severity of Humanitarian Access Trend of assistance over the months Total funding required: $ 195 M %46 %54 Funded %37.2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Situation Overview Months Humanitarian Needs Due to developments and shifts in the conflict, the severity of needs and number of PIN (People in Need) for Shelter/NFI/CCCM assistance have increased compared to the previous year with the total population in need increasing by almost 24 per cent from 5.4 million people last year to 6.7 million people this year (1.7 million men, 1.6 women, 1.7 boys and 1.7 girls). This was derived by the increase in displacement by 65 per cent from 2 million in October 2017 people to almost 3.3 million in November 2018 as a result of the increased fighting on front-lines particularly around the west coast. These massive numbers have impacted on host communities by increasing strains on public services and infrastructure and an increased pressure on limited resources. The population in acute need of Shelter/NFI/CCCM assistance also increased from 2.5 million people to 4.5 million (1.1 million men, 1.1 women, 1.2 boys and 1.1 girls), a 78 per cent increase from last year with high number of people with specific needs found across 207 districts in the country. Response/ Cluster Updates While violence continues to plague the conflict-ravaged country, the humanitarian needs of the Yemeni people further increase, with displaced families facing more challenges during the winter months simultaneously limited funding remain critical challenge to meet the basic requirements of affected populations in a timely manner.
