Climate change is affecting availability of good coffee ANI | Updated: Apr 14, 2021 23:26 IST
Washington [US], April 14 (ANI): The findings of a new study by an international team of researchers that looked at the peculiar effect climate change has on Africa s largest coffee-producing nation, found that Ethiopia will be producing less speciality coffee and more rather bland tasting varieties in the future.
Their results published in the journal Scientific Reports are relevant both for the country s millions of smallholder farmers, who earn more on speciality coffee than on ordinary coffee, as well as for baristas and coffee aficionados around the world. Climate change has conflicting impacts on coffee production in Ethiopia. The area that is suitable for average quality coffee might actually increase gradually until the 2090s, according to our computer simulations, said lead author Abel Chemura from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact
