How Coffee is grown

http://www.ncausa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=69

A coffee bean is actually a seed. When dried,

roasted and ground, it is used to brew coffee. But

if the seed is not processed, it can be planted and

will grow into a coffee tree.

Coffee seeds are generally planted in large beds

in shaded nurseries, seedling bags are used

during this step. After sprouting, the seedlings

are removed from the seed bed to be planted in

individual pots in carefully formulated soils.

Protection of the crops from diseases, pests

such as:

Coffee berry disease and coffee wilt disease can

devastate coffee crops. Coffee berry disease is

caused by a fungus called Colletotrichum

coffeanum, which affects the flowers and unripe

berries. An outbreak of coffee berry disease can

destroy up to 75 % of a crop.

Coffee wilt disease, also known as

tracheomycosis, is caused by a fungus that kills

trees by attacking the branches and stems

Coffee beans damaged



Green coffee is shipped in either

jute or sisal bags which are loaded

into shipping containers, or it is

bulk shipped inside plastic-lined

containers. Jute bags are more

used than other material.

Coffee from Mexico is sometimes

shipped in a sisal outer bag

containing a perforated plastic

inner bag. Woven plastic bags,

also are occasionally used for

transport from West Africa and

have no effect on the quality of the

coffee, as they let the coffee beans

breath.
