Coffee Processing Technology

2. - An Organic
Coffee-based
Sustainable
farming System is
a new method of
farming using
coffee as the main
crop.

3. - Other crops are
planted together
with coffee to
provide additional
income to the
farmer or provide
alternative income
when the price of
coffee drops.

4. - This farming
system widens the
income base of the
farmer and gives
him the option to
wait for the best
time to sell his
coffee.

5.  Coffee is an important agricultural commodity,
second only to oil in value.
 Demand for coffee in the country is currently at
65,000 MT and growing at minimum 2%/year.
 Coffee production in the country has dropped
considerably since 1997, when the ban on
importation of coffee was lifted, resulting in
increasing imports of coffee beans from Vietnam
and Indonesia.
 Coffee farming can be made viable and
sustainable if planted together with other crops
like root crops, legumes, vegetables or fruit trees.

6.  CBFS gives flexibility to the farmer in sourcing
his income.
 CBFS allows the farmer to plant other food
crops which could help provide his food needs
and give him added income.
 CBFS frees the farmer from reliance only on
coffee for his income and gives him the option
to keep his coffee crop and wait for the best
coffee price before selling his coffee.
 CBFS is more sustainable than mono-crop
coffee.
