Features of growing Ethiopian green coffee
The largest number of varieties of coffee (more than 10,000) grows in Ethiopia. 90% of Ethiopian green coffee beans are harvested by hand in forests or backyards, and only 10% of it comes from organized agriculture. In other words, Ethiopian coffee continues to be grown "in the wild" and is harvested just like blueberries or mushrooms in Ukraine. This production model is radically different from the ones used by all other coffee-producing countries. Farmers grow either local varieties or those that have been bred by JARC.
There are several groups of JARC varieties:
- resistant to coffee berry diseases
- resistant to coffee leaf rust
- ORSTOM - collections of French coffee
- hybrid
- special
