  „Shade limits the incidence of pest such as white stem borer and leaf rust disease in Arabica coffee. The incidence of white stem borer, which can cause death of plants, will be more in arabica coffee grown under less shaded condition (Subramaniyam 1941). During the current season, high incidence of white stem borer has been reported from most of the Arabica plantations on account of unprecedented low rainfall experienced for the past 2 to 3 seasons in South India. The non adoption of control measures for curtailing the incidence and also extraction of timber to tide over the situation caused by low price scenario for coffee aggravated the problem.“

  „Current plans include the advancement of Arabica coffee in the western region by developing new cultivars that are resistant to coffee leaf rust disease, the replacement of many existing trees and a fuller distinction between grades. Uganda intends to compete vigorously in the gourmet market and has developed liquor profiles that will allow overseas buyers to select their preferred coffees. It is also intended to invest in washed processing facilities for presently dry processed Arabica and some Robusta.“

  „Recently, however, many coffee farmers in northern Latin America have reduced or eliminated shade to grow new high-yielding coffee plants under direct sun. Fear of a disease known as coffee leaf rust sparked an early round of conversions, most of which took place in the 1970s. To prevent the spread of the disease, coffee farmers "technified," replacing older, shade-loving coffee varieties, such as t'pica and bourb--n, with new varieties, packed in tight hedgerows, that can survive open sun -- but only with chemical inputs.“

  „The Dutch planted the first arabica trees in Java early in coffee history, and before the rust disease virtually wiped out the industry, Java led the world in coffee production. Most of this early acreage has been replaced by disease-resistant robusta, but, under the sponsorship of the Indonesian government, arabica has made a modest comeback on several of the old estates originally established by the Dutch.“
