ArticleUnveiling Physical and Sensory Quality of Arabica Coffee Produced in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jazan Region 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Globally, coffee quality is a determining factor in the prices of coffee; hence the production of high quality coffee is the primary goal of every coffee growing country. This study unveils the raw and sensory quality of coffee produced in Jazan, which is the leading coffee growing region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Forty-three naturally processed coffee samples were collected from randomly sampled coffee farmers and subjected to green bean size evaluation using standard coffee grading sieves followed by sensory assessment using the Specialty Coffee Association protocol. The sampled coffee produced green bean sizes fitting within the spectrum of Arabica with the most prevalent being sieve number 16 (6.35mm) with an average retention of 21 percent. On average 88 percent of the coffee was retained on sieves 14 to 20 representing the exportable sizes for many countries. The sensory evaluation revealed that 77 percent of the coffee samples attained specialty grade (80 points and above), with the highest scoring 86 points (excellent score) and the lowest 75 points. Two percent of the coffees were of excellent quality (≥85 points), 75% fell within the “very good” sensory class (80 – 85 points), and 23 percent did not meet the specialty class. These results indicate that with improved agronomic and processing practices, Jazan region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has the potential to produce outstanding coffees (90 to 100 points). -
DocumentValue Chain Analyses for Shan Tea and Arabica Coffee under Climate Change in the Northern Mountainous Region of Viet Nam 2015
Also available in:
No results found.This brief summarizes the results of analyses of Shan tea and Arabica coffee value chains in the Northern Mountainous Region of Viet Nam in order to better understand how they are affected by climate change and their potential to be climate smart. It provides highlights from the larger studies that can help shape sectoral development plans within a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) framework to sustainably improve the food security and resilience of the population dependent on these sectors, while capturing any potential mitigation co-benefits. The evidence base will also contribute to the formulation of sub-national and national CSA frameworks and financing mechanisms for agricultural development in Viet Nam. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Arabica coffee manual for Lao PDR 2005
Also available in:
No results found.Coffee is now a key industry in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. With a very suitable climate, abundant land resources and farmers who are eager for a viable cash crop, the country has the potential to grow large amounts of high quality Arabic coffee. The soils and climate of the upper elevations of the Bolovens Plateaux, where most of the Arabica coffee is grown, provide an excellent area to develop a specialized and valuable coffee industry. This manual has been prepared as a suppo rt base for training of trainers and staff of the Coffee Research and Experimentation Centre. It contains key information of importance to farmers and managers of coffee plantations and is intended to be primary source of practical knowledge on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). This manual is produced as a basis for training extension personnel and farmers in growing and processing coffee. It is also a valuable resource for researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and policy-makers.
