„It was in the early period of 1950 and onwards, few extension offices were opened with concentration in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, South Kerala and Waynad to disseminate the research findings to the growers for successful coffee cultivation. The CCRI, which was the flagship for the research programmes supported the planting community by supplying improved plant materials for vast expansion of coffee in South India. S.795, the seed material indigenously developed at CCRI was the improved selection strain that gained the confidence of planting community and large areas were expanded with this material. It had some resistance to leaf rust which was considered to be a major disease in coffee that was responsible for the vanishing coffee in Sri Lanka.“

„Coffee Plantations in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala were opened out from the 1820's onwards with the active support of the Government of India, for the production of coffee for shipment to the European Market. 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. The coffee plantations existing today are the results of the conscious policy of the Government of India in the nineteenth century.“

„He also points out the tremendous environmental benefits that result from selling to the organic Fairtrade market. 'It's something that has benefited the village of Jaris directly, and also the whole region.' In the past, farmers burnt petrol-soaked tyres in the furnaces that boil the cane syrup. They also cut down trees for fuel. Now there has been a lot of reforestation in the valley, and farmers have invested in improved organic furnaces that can burn the waste stalks of the cane.“
