Biotechnology for Genetic Improvement of the Indian Coffee

  • Chapter

Abstract

India is among the top ten coffee producing and exporting countries along with Brazil, Columbia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Uganda and Guatemala. In India, both arabica and robusta coffee are cultivated almost in equal areas. Coffee production in India has reached 2.3 lakh tonnes in 1998 from around 19 thousand tonnes in 1950, while the average productivity has increased to over 850 kg/ha from 204 kg/ha, during the same period. The estimated production for 1999–2000 is 2.85 lakh tonnes (Anonymous, 1999).
