Subject: Coffee Wilt Disease


Does anyone know how much coffee wilt disease is effecting current
production in Ethiopia and whether it's spreading or being controlled? I've
googled it but can't really tell much from the different studies. Doesn't
seem to be much in the way of controls other than destroying the infected
trees. I'd hate to see it start to decimate African coffee.

Just a 27 Sept press release by the Ethiopian Agricultural Ministry
written up in a few papers:
