„The experiences to be gained through the financing of these initiatives would assist GON to better refine the role of government in the facilitation and promotion of forestry investments, i.e., to "test the market" prior to committing to larger, risky, or potentially, distorting schemes. The types of subprojects expected would include: sustainable forestry at the agricultural frontier; planning and development of tropical broadleaf forest resources; planning and development of pine forest resources; multiple-use reforestation; secondary forest management; incorporation of timber, non-timber, and fruit species for shade coffee plantations. The types of activities included under the subprojects would be such things as: achieving eligibility for certification of forestry and forestry products; forest fire management and protection; natural forest management; tree nurserying; planting and management of trees either in pure or mixed stands, or individually as part of agroforestry or silvopastoral systems; non-timber forest product management and utilization; shade coffee plantation management; secondary forest management and reforestation for fuelwood production; vertical integration of smallholder producers and wood-based microenterprises; and enhancing forest enterprise business management and marketing and commercialization capacity. Other activities or costs eligible for grant financing would include: technical assistance for subproject formulation; direct costs for grant administration; training and technical assistance; small purchases of goods and equipment justified for technology introduction and training purposes or for public good content (e.g., fire fighting tools); small works and infrastructure justified for public good content (e.g., fire watch towers and fire ponds, control posts, cooperative solar wood dryers); maintenance, operational and logistical costs.“

„The Jamaican situation has been complicated by the many people who, in one way or another, are attempting to profit from the extraordinary prices demanded for Blue Mountain. In particular, other plantation owners in the high mountains of Jamaica are trying to produce a coffee that will ride on the coattails of the original into the pocketbooks and onto the palates of the Americans and Japanese. These entrepreneurs appear honest and well meaning; less admirable, however, are the American roasters who market a "Blue Mountain Style" coffee that has the taste characteristics of Blue Mountain, but may not contain a single bean of actual Blue Mountain.“

Top-grade arabicas are still produced on Java as well as on Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Flores, but the Indonesian archipelago is most notable as the world’s largest producer of robusta beans. Notable Beans: Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi (Celebes) Vietnam (5.8 million bags) French missionaries first brought coffee to Vietnam in the mid-1860s, but production remained negligible as late as 1980.“

Tips on Coffee - The history of coffee (#)

„Coffee planting began in the English colonies, but a disease wiped out the plantations, leading the English to re-plant them with tea instead. By the 18th century, the beverage had become popular in Europe, and European colonists had introduced coffee to tropical countries worldwide as a plantation crop to supply domestic demand. During the 19th century, European demand for coffee was so strong that when genuine coffee beans were scarce, people developed similar-tasting substitutes from various roasted vegetable substances, such as chicory root, dandelion root, acorns, or figs. For example, the British used acorns as a coffee substitute during World War II while German U-boats blockaded Britain.“

Pioneers of the coffee plantation Industry were assigned land by the government for a value and were encouraged to invest large sums of money to develop the coffee plantations. The Forest policy of 1894 consciously encouraged the expansion of the plantation industry.
