Arabica coffee manual for Lao PDR
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.
