El Salvador Must Renew Coffee Plantations

In the next 20 years, the country must invest $35 million per year to renew its coffee plantations, which are 33 years old on average.

Mario Acosta Oertel, president of the Salvadoran Coffee ResearchFoundation (Procafé), explained that the country could produce an additional 1.5 million quintals each year if coffee plantations were in optimal condition.

Laprensagrafica.com quoted Procafé's report: "...25.9 million coffee plants must be sowed each year to renew the entire country in 20 years".
