Proving that Starmaya can be successfully produced by a seed garden as opposed to
somatic embryogenesis (SE) is important because SE is an expensive and technically sophisticated process of propagating large numbers of clones.
[2]
[3] The research team lead by Frédéric Georget of CIRAD proved that a seed garden is capable of producing F1 hybrids at roughly half the cost of SE. They also estimate that a seed garden could effectively produce a half-million F1 hybrid seeds per hectare, per year.
[2]
The democratization of use of F1 hybrid becomes more realistic with the reduced cost and technical difficulties that such a seed garden populated with Starmaya represents. [2]
The seed garden was set up using CIR-SM01 as the male-sterile parent, or pollen receiver and Marsellesa as the intended pollen donor at a rate of 4:1. The planting density of the plot was 2 meters between rows and 1.5 meters between plants within the same row. This density allows for 4,000 trees per hectare. This configuration established efficient, natural pollination. [4] Seeds derived from the seed garden were successfully cultivated as F1 Hybrids, proving the ability to use a seed garden to mass-produce F1 hybrid coffee trees. [3] [4]

Bean size has an impact on the value of a given coffee [2] and while different countries assign different value premiums based on size, it is generally accepted that larger bean sizes are better [2].

Coffee use can be traced at least to as early as the 9th century, when it appeared in the highlands of Ethiopia. [1] According to legend, Ethiopian shepherds were the first to observe the influence of the caffeine in coffee beans when the goats appeared to "dance" and to have an increased level of energy after consuming wild coffee berries. [2] The legend names the shepherd "Kaldi." From Ethiopia, coffee spread to Egypt and Yemen., [3] It was in Arabia that coffee beans were first roasted and brewed similarly as they are today. By the 15th century, it had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey, and northern Africa.
In 1583, Leonhard Rauwolf, a German physician, gave this description of coffee after returning from a ten year trip to the Near East: [4]
“ | A beverage as black as ink, useful against numerous illnesses, particularly those of the stomach. Its consumers take it in the morning, quite frankly, in a porcelain cup that is passed around and from which each one drinks a cupful. It is composed of water and the fruit from a bush called bunnu. | ” |
From the Muslim world, coffee spread to Italy. The thriving trade between Venice and North Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East brought many goods, including coffee, to the Venetian port. From Venice, it was introduced to the rest of Europe. Coffee became more widely accepted after it was deemed a Christian beverage by Pope Clement VIII in 1600, despite appeals to ban the "Muslim drink". The first European coffee house opened in Italy in 1645. [5] The Dutch were the first to import coffee on a large scale, and they were among the first to defy the Arab prohibition on the exportation of plants or unroasted seeds when Pieter van den Broeck smuggled seedlings from Aden into Europe in 1616. [6] The Dutch later grew the crop in Java and Ceylon. [7] Through the efforts of the British East India Company, coffee became popular in England as well. It was introduced in France in 1657, and in Austria and Poland after the 1683 Battle of Vienna, when coffee was captured from supplies of the defeated Turks. [8]
When coffee reached North America during the colonial period, it was initially not as successful as it had been in Europe. During the Revolutionary War, however, the demand for coffee increased so much that dealers had to hoard their scarce supplies and raise prices dramatically; this was partly due to the reduced availability of tea from British merchants. [9] After the War of 1812, during which Britain temporarily cut off access to tea imports, the Americans' taste for coffee grew, and high demand during the American Civil War together with advances in brewing technology secured the position of coffee as an everyday commodity in the United States. [10]
Noted as one of the world’s largest, most lawfully valuable traded commodity after oil, has become a vital “cash crop” for many Third World countries. Over one hundred million people in developing countries have become dependent on coffee as the primary source of income (Ponte 1). Coffee has become the primary export and backbone for African countries like Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, and Ethiopia as well as other Central American countries (1)
