How climate change and a deadly fungus are threatening our coffee supply ምንጭ፦  qz.com In the next 24 hours, the world will guzzle 1.6 billion cups of coffee, the most popular beverage on the planet besides water and tea. It’s big business, too: Global coffee exports totaled $28.6 billion in 2013—after oil, it is the world’s most traded commodity. + But there’s something else that likes coffee even more than humans:  Hemileia vastatrix,  better known as coffee rust or roya disease. It’s a fungal parasite that survives on coffee tree leaves, and in the 2012-13 crop year alone, it caused nearly $499 million in losses  (pdf, p.3) among Central American coffee growers. + Worse, big swings in weather resulting from climate change are hastening the spread of this fungus,  reports National Geographic , and causing epic droughts on plantations elsewhere in the region. The devastating double-whammy of climate and disease could wipe out as much as two-fifths of Central Am

He suggests the success will come through commencing various mechanisms that will mitigate the current problems and as well by coming up with ideas of establishing a research institute. Herhaus recommended one of the possible methods to bring back the Ethiopian specialty coffee was by establishing a research institute that helps farmers and exports maintain quality and production. He further noted, “Arguably, Ethiopia remains the most important place for Coffee Arabica and possibly the right location for a research institute as
