how to improve the quality of arabica coffee in the farm level?

Answer 1

C. arabica (Arabian coffee)

At the bases of their 4- to 6-inch-long, glossy green leaves, Arabian coffee plants bear clusters of sweetly scented, 3/4-inch white flowers intermittently throughout the year; these mature into pulpy, glistening red, 1/2-inch berries. Within each berry are two seeds, the "beans" from which coffee is made. Plants, which do not begin to blossom or bear fruit until they are three or four years old, grow upright to a height of 4 feet or more unless the tips of stems are pinched off.

HOW TO GROW. The Arabian coffee plant does best in curtain-filtered sunlight, night temperatures of 60� to 65� and day temperatures of 70� or higher. Keep the soil evenly moist; fertilize every two weeks from March to October, monthly the rest of the year. Try to avoid touching the leaves, which are thin and tender. Propagate from seeds at any time or from cuttings of upright-growing tips. Do not attempt to propagate from cuttings of side branches, since they generally develop into poorly shaped plants.

Uganda is one of the five leading coffee growers in the world. The climatic conditions are favorable for the industry. Presently two types of coffee are grown. One is called Arabic and the other is Robusta. The latterespecially is widely grown in flat lands while the former is grown in mountainous areas.

Coffee is the major income generating industry in Uganda. Around the country you find coffee estates and small gardens. These are mostly owned by individuals who do this for a living. People with small farms of coffee use it as extra income in addition to other subsistance crops. "You cannot eat coffee and its prices fractuate making it hard for anyone to rely on it as a main source of income and food," many Ugandans have expressed this sentiment.

It is interesting to note that the regular Ugandan does not enjoy as much coffee as the rugular American/Briton/German. People grow the coffee but it is enjoyed by the people with the money. Even considering thegrade-type enjoyed by Ugandans shows this difference.

For Arabica coffee there are two optimal growing climates:

The subtropical regions, at high altitudes of 16-24° . Rainy and dry seasons must be well defined, and altitude must be between 1800-3600 feet. These conditions result in one growing season and one maturation season, usually in the coldest part of autumn. Mexico, Jamaica, the S. Paulo and Minas Gerais regions in Brazil, and Zimbabwe are examples of areas with these climate conditions.

The equatorial regions at latitudes lower than 10° and altitudes of 3600-6300 feet . Frequent rainfall causes almost continuous flowering, which results in two harvesting seasons. The period of highest rainfall determines the main harvesting period, while the period of least rainfall determines the second harvest season. Artificial drying with mechanical dryers is performed on coffees grown in this type of culture since rainfall is too frequent for patio drying to occur. Examples of countries which have this climate are Kenya, Colombia, and Ethiopia.

Answer 3

After harvesting,the coffee processor could use color sorter to sort the coffee beans.

Growking Color Sorter provides optical sorting solutions for coffee processors who demand high standards in product quality and safety. With a focus on precision sorting and consistent yield, the Growking color sorters meet requirements of small, medium and large processors who sort a variety of beans; roasted, semi/fully washed sun dried green Robusta and Arabica.Its commitment to substantial investment in R&D ensures that its advanced optical sorting technology produces excellent results in removing even the most challenging of defects.

We can sort in robusta coffee, arabica coffee and roasted coffee all type of contaminants: black, brown, reddish, amber beans, immature beans, insect damaged coffee.
