JISL has signed a landmark MoU with the Coffee Board of India for the commercial release of the advanced high quality, disease-resistant coffee plants to growers. This collaboration is set to transform the coffee industry.
Jain Irrigation Systems announces that after a decade of hard labour they had developed seven high yielding tissue culture varieties of Robustas and Arabicas coffee.
These varieties have been licensed to JISL by the Coffee Board of India, now approved for commercial production and sale. The Indian coffee sector has been grappling with challenges such as aging plantations and lack of quality planting material.
Tissue-cultured coffee plants offer several advantages that have the potential to reshape the large and growing coffee industry in India and beyond.
