Start Your Project With Mini Coffee Project

Hi..

I`m back with new category : Agriculture.

I want to share with you all about the coffee that can be planted at Sarawak.

Two main species :

1. Coffee arabica-High land

2. Coffee robusta (kopi java)

3. Coffee liberica (kopi dayak) - can be grown in 1,000ft

Price : Coffee robusta Vs Liberian coffee...the winner is coffee robusta.

Drainage : Must good drainage.

Suggestion planting distances :

10x10ft for robusta coffee = 450 plants per acre

15x15ft for liberica coffee = 200 plants per acre

Shade :

Based on my previous observation, overhead shade needed so that the taste of coffee bean more complex..slurrrpppp...kaw..kopi cap kapal api. Conventional shade trees can be coconuts or bananas.

Maintenance :

Weeding is always practised. Dead weeds should be used as ring-mulch around the plants.

Pruning :

To obtain regularly high yields, we must do the pruning. Two methods of pruning :

1. Single-stem pruning : Apply to Coffee liberica. Only one main stem is permitted.

2. Multi-stem pruning : Apply to Coffee robusta. Three or four main stems are allowed to develop.

This is only first stages in doing coffee project. The next stages will be harvesting and Yields.

I`m going to publish it by next post.
