Most coffee farmers are practicing mixed farming, which includes coffee production, food crops production and livestock husbandry. In this regard, the key problems identified are:
Low productivity and quality of coffee
Farmers manage old coffee stands that are poorly managed, and hence the productivity is low. This needs improvement through improved management practices like organic fertilizer application, pruning, stumping as well as planting quality coffee seedlings. Even though there is inherent quality, care during harvesting and post harvest handling are critical to get quality coffee. Coffee farmers lack basic skills and required skills to properly handle harvesting and post harvest cares. Further, farmers also get better prices if their farms are certified using differen standards like Organic, FairTrade and Rainforest Alliance. Organing farmers into economically feasible groups and trainings on the on the requirements of certification standards are equally vital.
Veterinary clinics
