Agronomic Research on Arabica Coffee in Papua and New Guinea-Progress Report.

Abstract

In the last twenty years, Arabica coffee has grown from negligible production to the second largest earner of export income for New Guinea, with exports in 1965-1966 in excess of 10,000 tons. About half is produced on estates and the other half on small holdings. The crop is singularly free from pests, disease and other serious problems.
