Coffee production in Malaysia has a ways to go yet. The Edge Magazine reported in 2020 on some of the challenges faced by coffee planters, those planting Sabarica (https://theedgemalaysia.com/article/cover-story-wake-and-smell-sabarica). Meanwhile, the Agriculture Ministry reported in 2021 that coffee yield in 2020 was just 4,241 tonnes! (https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2021/10/01/agriculture-dept-ready-to-assist-coffee-entrepreneurs-in-malaysia-says-depu/2010018) There’s potential, but again, it’s labour-intensive … maybe Malaysia would do well to experiment with harvesting robots, to relieve the labour pressures across the industry.
I remember news a while back about Arabica going extinct due to climate change. I’m curious about the Malaysian coffee production scene now
Yeah, and also increased demand. It’s a billion dollar market now and kinda surprise we didn’t increase production sooner.
Also nice seeing you here lol

And I’m here to stay regardless of r/malaysia’s blackout decision! You can check out the Malaysia kbin magazine too.
Strange i couldn’t find kbin’s malaysia group via lemmyworld, i thought they’re federalised
Federation it’s a bit buggy but hopefully all the kbin magazines will come over to Lemmy soon!
