In the heartlands of Nicaragua, where the rich, aromatic scent of coffee plantations dances through the air, a quiet revolution is brewing. A group of rural farmers, facing the challenges of changing climates affecting traditional crops, has set their sights on a resilient and flavorful alternative – Excelsa coffee. In their pursuit of excellence, these farmers are reaching out to none other than the Philippine Coffee Board for education, information, and seedlings to embark on their Excelsa coffee journey.
The Changing Climate and Coffee Challenges:
Over the years, the global coffee industry has faced numerous challenges, and climate change stands as a formidable adversary. The once-reliable arabica and robusta coffee varieties are experiencing declines in production due to shifting weather patterns, extreme temperatures, and unpredictable rainfall. Coffee-producing regions around the world are grappling with these changes, threatening the livelihoods of farmers who depend on coffee cultivation.
Enter Excelsa coffee, a shining beacon amidst the challenges. This specialty coffee, native to the Philippines, has gained attention for its adaptability to diverse climates. Unlike its counterparts, Excelsa coffee boasts non-GMO, all-natural properties, making it a sustainable and climate-resistant option for farmers looking to secure their future in the coffee industry.
The Philippine Coffee Board: Guardians of Excelsa’s Legacy:
At the heart of the Excelsa coffee story lies the Philippines, a country with a rich history of coffee production spanning over three centuries.
