People in Malaysia are sipping on more coffee, with the increase in consumption being the third highest in Asia Pacific. Find out more about what's brewing here.
PETALING JAYA: Malaysians are drinking more coffee and loving it – so much so that we are ranked third in Asia Pacific with the biggest spike in coffee consumption.
“Together, the three countries added an extra 0.9 million bags of coffee consumption,” read an excerpt from the ICO’s Coffee Report and Outlook released in April this year. “One of the main reasons why our local coffee production is decreasing is due to the decrease in total planted area with coffee,” says Mardi director-general Datuk Dr Mohamad Zabawi Abdul Ghani in an interview.
“Although the potential yield of coffee can reach up to 26 tonnes per hectare , the average yield achieved by coffee farmers is only between 2.8 and 3.9 t/ha.“This may be contributed by the planting of low-yielding coffee varieties and the minimal application of the recommended cultural practices for our local coffee production,” he adds.
"The three new Liberica coffee clones are high yielding with an average yield of coffee berries of between 17 and 25 t/ha," says Mohamad Zabawi.
