How to Increase Farmers’ Incomes Using Coffee Cherries

Abstract

Coffee processing is solely centred around isolating the seed of this sweet and fragrant stone fruit. Isolating the fruit seed from the waste stream does not denote excellent cherry quality and does not provide optimal financial benefit to the farmer. Only a fruit-centred coffee process will be both commercially viable and sustainable, supporting the farmers and preserving nature.
