  „Wednesday, 21 June, 2000, 18:08 GMT 19:08 UK Coffee crisis in Ethiopia Coffee: The most valuable international commodity after oil The future of the world's most popular coffee bean is under threat because of deforestation, according to an Ethiopian ecologist. Tadesse Gole, currently at the University of Bonn, Germany, claims only an international emergency programme can save the surviving remnants of the wild arabica coffee plants growing in the highland rainforests of south-west Ethiopia. Over 90% of the coffee drunk in the world comes from a few commercial varieties of arabica bean. But the ability to develop new varieties that can overcome disease depends on the survival of the many wild varieties in Ethiopia.“
