  5. Coffee Production and Yield Africa S. America S. America C. Amer C. Amer Africa Asia Asia Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  6. World Coffee Production • Brazil • 21.1%, arabica • Only country with frost possibility in coffee zone • Colombia • 13.9%, arabica • Indonesia • 7.3%, robusta • Other important producing countries • Vietnam, Mexico, Ethiopia, India, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Uganda 1996 data from Wilson, 1999. Coffee, Cocoa, and Tea. CABI Publishing. Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  7. Major Consumers • High proportion imported by developed countries • USA 23% • EEC 39% Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  8. The Seed of the Fruit is the Economic PartA Drupe like a Peach • Both begin bearing in 3-4 years • Time to mature fruit • Arabica, 7-8 months • Robusta, 11-12 months • Productive for 20-30 years • Both need pruning for best production Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  9. The Coffee Fruit is called a Cherry • Exocarp • Red skin • Mesocarp • Sweet pulp • Endocarp, hull • Testa (silvery) • Bean (embryo and cotyledons) Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  10. The Coffee Fruit is called a Cherry • Exocarp • Red skin • Mesocarp • Sweet pulp • Endocarp, hull • Testa (silvery) • Bean (embryo and cotyledons) • Parchment coffee is the bean, testa, endocarp From Wilson, 1999. Coffee, Cocoa, and Tea, CABI Publishing. Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  11. Coffee Tree Growth Cycle • Dry and/or cool season • Floral initiation • Reduced vegetative growth • Wet season • Flowers open, fruit set and begin development • Active vegetative growth • Dry and/or cool season • Fruit ripen • Flower buds initiate • Reduced vegetative growth Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  12. Coffee Tree Growth Habit • Orthotropic stem • Erect growth • Plagiotropic stems • Horizontal secondary stems growing off of orthotropic stems • These are the fruiting wood Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  13. Coffee Farmers • Grown under many conditions • Plantations and smaller farmers • Under shade and in full sun • Monoculture and mixed farming systems Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  14. Coffee Production • Propagation • For arabica • Most is done by seed • Clonal propagation • Hybrids • Robusta types Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  15. Coffee Production • Planting • Slightly acid (pH 5.2 to 6.3) well drained soil • Beginning of wet season • Vertical position or 30° angle • Spacing - need light for fruit ripening • Arabica, 1350 trees/ha • Robusta, 900-1000 trees/ha • Time to fruiting • Take 3-4 years to obtain mature plant • Fruit on year old wood Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  16. Shade and Coffee Production • Both species are understorey trees • Well adapted to shade • Initially coffee was planted under shade • Small holders may use mixed farming • Later unshaded plants were shown to produce higher yields Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  17. Shade and Coffee Production Data from Wilson, 1999. Coffee, Cocoa, and Tea, Figure 6.4. Conclusion: High input system - better with fertilizer Low input system - not as essential Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  18. Coffee Production • Training/Pruning objectives • Maximize # plagiotrophic stems (fruiting wood) • Shape trees • Maximize use of space • Ease of management • Maintain open tree to allow good light penetration • Minimize biennial bearing • Remove diseased and dead wood Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  19. Single Stem Training(Central leader) • Cut back orthotropic stem • Encourages plagiotropic stem formation • Repeat for 3-5 years • With each cycle the tree gets bigger • Lower limbs die due to lack of light • Rejuvenate after 3-5 years • To reduce size of tree • Cut back to 40-50 cm height Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  20. Single Stem Training(Central leader) • Cut back orthotropic stem • Encourages plagiotropic stem formation • Select one orthotropic as new leader • Repeat for 3-5 years • With each cycle the tree gets bigger • Lower limbs die due to lack of light • Rejuvenate after 3-5 years • To reduce size of tree • Cut back to 40-50 cm height Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  21. Single Stem Training(Central leader) • Cut back orthotropic stem • Encourages plagiotropic stem formation • Select one orthotropic as new leader • Repeat for 3-5 years • With each cycle the tree gets bigger • Lower limbs die due to lack of light • Rejuvenate after 3-5 years • To reduce size of tree • Cut back to 40-50 cm height Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  22. Multiple Stem Training(Modified Central Leader) • Leave 2-8 orthotropic stems • Pruning • Cut back (or bend) orthotropic stem • Encourages orthotropic stem formation • Select several orthotropic stems to be new leaders • Eliminate growth in center of tree Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  23. Multiple Stem Training(Modified Central Leader) • Leave 2-8 orthotropic stems • Pruning • Eliminate growth in center of tree • Continues growing taller • Cropping area moves higher Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  24. Multiple Stem Training(Modified Central Leader) • Leave 2-8 orthotropic stems • Pruning • Cut out wood in center • Continues growing taller • Cropping area moves higher • Rejuvenation every 4-6 years • Need to lower fruiting surface • Allow basal suckers to grow Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  25. Multiple Stem Training(Modified Central Leader) • Rejuvenation every 4-6 years • Allow suckers to grow • Remove old branches • Stump with “lung” • Once suckers begin to grow remove “lung” Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  26. Harvest • Most done by hand • Ripe berries only • Pick every 8-10 days • In Brazil, allow cherries to dry on tree • Machine harvest in Brazil • Oscillating fingers • 7-9% immature fruit From Wilson, 1999. Coffee, Cocoa, and Tea, CABI Publishing. Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  29. Coffee Processing Bean Processing done on the Farm

  30. Wet Method • Start on Harvest Day • Separate trash and defective berries by flotation • Good berries are depulped same day • Fermentation • Only to remove mucilaginous covering • Excessive heat destroys flavor Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  31. Wet Method • Washed • Water under pressure • Dried - spread out to dry • Sun • Artificial heat • Best quality • Gives coffee that is cleaner, brighter, fruitier, better acidity Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  32. Dry Method (Natural Method)(Most traditional and least expensive) • Drying (Indonesia, Ethiopia, Brazil, Yemen) • Initial drying done on trees • Spread on concrete, tile or matted surface • 2” thick and constantly raked • 3-15 days until specific moisture • Pergamino is dry and crumbly Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  33. Dry Method(Most traditional and least expensive) • Remove pericarp • Mortar and pestle or machine • Chaff removed via winnowing and picking • Sorted by size, shape, density and color • Packed in 60 kg bags for processing Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  34. Industrial Processing(Usually by importing company) • Grading process • Redry and clean the parchment beans before using • Remove testa (hulling and polishing) • Sort on size and density • Roasting (370°F to 540°F) • Removes moisture • Light roast lose 3-5% moisture • Dark roast lose 8-14% moisture • Time (up to 30 min) determines flavor • Decreasing the amount of • Chlorogenic acid • Trigonelline • Grinding Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  35. Industrial Processing(Usually by importing company) • Caffeine Reduction • Add water to beans • Extract with • Methylene chloride and ethyl acetate • Residual solvent removed via low level steam drying • Caffeine can be recovered with water extraction of organic solvent Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  36. Industrial Processing(Usually by importing company) • Once ground the beans lose flavor rapidly • Grinding • Coarse to medium (600-1100 μm) • Home percolators • Fine grinds (Automatic percolators) • Europe (400-500 μm) • USA (600-700 μm) Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University

  37. Industrial Processing(Usually by importing company) • Instant Coffee • Extract soluble solids, volatile aroma and flavor with water • Drying • Drum drying - poor appearance • Spray drying - loses flavor volatiles • Freeze drying - best product • Best retention of flavor • Produces granules • No evaporation so no loss of flavor • Coffee oil for head space aroma Tropical Horticulture - Texas A&M University
