Coffee
Coffee is grown in tropical and subtropical
climates as undergrowth of larger shade trees, either in small
plots with hand harvesting, or without shade trees on plantations
with mechanical harvesters. The two main types of coffees
are: Robusta - which is grown at sea level, or Arabica,
which is best grown in mountainous regions.
In
the growth process the coffee trees first get white flowers,
eventually developing into green cherries, which must be harvested
when they turn red, each cherry contains two beans.
The red cherries are first pulped, then fermented, washed
and dried, creating parchment, which is processed in a factory
by hulling, polishing and sorting into exportable Green Coffee
Beans.
Small coffee farmers either sell the coffee cherries to a
wet-plant or add value by pulping, fermenting, washing and
drying it to parchment, in preparation for the market.
5 to 8 kg of cherries gives approx 1kg of green exportable
coffee beans. One coffee tree yields approx 15 to 20kg of
cherries per year.
