Farmers in the area depend heavily
on coffee, and climatic conditions favour
Presence of ARI Uyole in Mbeya region
Presence of IADO in the division
Cooperatives - groups
Historical background: ancestors went to South Africa to get work in gold
mining to get wealth and did not work well. Present generation identified
coffee producing area well developed
|
Low production due to CBD and
CLR. This led to low incomes.
CBD = chule buni
CLR = kutu ya Majani ya kahawa
In thi splace, both are critical during flowering (September) to harvest
(April) |
Distribution of fungicides was
done by cooperatives
Use of local knowledge to combat CBD and CLR. This worked well but was short
lived (utupa: Tephrosia)
There was no previous trial of distribution of CBD/CLR resistant varieties
TACRI started researching on CBD/CLR in 1986; official release was in 2002. |
