“This battle for sustainability must be a pre- competitive one. We need to share resources, efforts, and knowledge collectively to make the overall coffee industry more sustainable and continue to compete for the taste of our coffee rather than for the title of ‘most sustainable’.

— Andrea Illy, Chairman, illycaffè

”

“One improved variety can mean less plant disease, pesticide use, and deforestation— with more resilience, yield, taste, and profit

benefiting more people—than anything else we can do. Not only does Agricultural R&D have the best ROI, investing with peers brings both scale and expertise.

— Doug Welsh, Vice President of Coffee and Roastmaster, Peet’s

”

“To retain quality and origin diversity with stewardship of our natural resources, we need to find scientific solutions to produce coffee on existing acreage with a significant increase in yields. World Coffee Research is our industry’s Noah’s Ark.

— Konrad Brits, CEO, Falcon Coffees

Strategy Roadmap

In 2021, World Coffee Research launched a new five- year strategy to drive global agricultural R&D to sustain origin diversity and secure global supply of coffee.

New membership model

In 2021, World Coffee Research (WCR) redesigned its membership model, adopting a volume- and revenue- based membership fee structure. This approach provides greater equity and transparency among member companies, and more sustainable long-term funding for agricultural research. The new membership model was designed by

the Development Committee of WCR’s Board of Directors, working with WCR member companies.

WCR 2021 Annual Report 5

Where we worked in 2021

WCR’s 11 focus countries are critical to global origin diversity. When fewer countries produce more of the

world’s coffee, it makes it harder to find the unique flavors that coffee drinkers want and coffee businesses rely on, creating significant risk to stability in coffees supplies. Accelerating agricultural innovation across multiple origins forges opportunities for coffee businesses, coffee farmers, coffee nations, and coffee consumers.

Country Highlights Ethiopia and Uganda

Ethiopia and Uganda are Africa’s leading coffee producers of arabica and robusta, respectively. Together they contain over 30% of the world’s smallholder coffee farms. In 2021, WCR signed memoranda of understanding agreements with both countries in support of their goals to improve farmer productivity and profitability through enhanced agricultural research and development.

For the first time in coffee, the two countries undertook a series of breeding program assessments using the Coffee- Breeding Program Assessment Tool (C-BPAT) aimed at discovering ways to innovate and support increasing the rates of genetic gains in coffee research programs. The original Breeding Program Assessment Tool (BPAT) was developed with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for food security crops. In 2020, through funding from USAID under the Feed the Future Alliance for Climate Resilient Coffee (ARC) project, WCR partnered with the University of Queensland to adapt the tool for coffee.

The C-BPAT used in Ethiopia and Uganda identified the strengths, gaps, and needs required to turn these breeding programs into high-performing, modernized public programs. From the assessments, detailed roadmaps are being built, which will be used to influence millions of dollars of public sector investment toward the coffee industry’s shared priorities with producing country research institutions in 2022 and beyond.

Breeding

Introducing the Coffee-Breeding Program Assessment Tool (C-BPAT)

A global tool to support breeding modernization

In order to secure future supplies of coffee, it’s critical for breeding programs to increase the rate of genetic gain, which can boost productivity and “pyramid” desirable performance traits. But the public coffee breeding programs that shore up global supply are woefully underfunded and out of date.

In 2020, WCR worked with the University of Queensland to create a first-ever assessment tool for coffee breeding programs to evaluate gaps in their technical and management capacity that limit genetic gain.

The C-BPAT process identifies the strengths, gaps and needs required to turn all breeding programs into high- performing, modernized public programs. It was used for the first time by the breeding programs of Ethiopia and Uganda in 2021. From the assessments, detailed roadmaps are being built, which will be used to influence millions

of dollars of public-sector investment toward the coffee industry’s shared priorities with producing country research

institutions in 2022 and beyond.

World-class genotyping comes to coffee

Global demand to accelerate modern breeding heats up

In order for coffee breeding programs to take advantage of modern breeding approaches used widely by other crops, coffee breeders need access to basic tools, including a low-cost and robust genotyping platform. But the cost for any individual breeding program to develop and deploy such a tool is prohibitively high.

In 2021, WCR convened 10 institutions in 8 countries to initiate the collaborative development of a low- cost, world-class genotyping platform for coffee. The effort builds on prior work of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) through its Excellence in Breeding (EiB) program to create

a streamlined mid-density SNP panel service using DArTag genotyping technology for multiple other crops. By joining together and aggregating demand, coffee breeding programs can achieve a platform that accelerates the production of improved varieties, while remaining cost effective for all.

The platform is tailored for use by coffee breeding programs pursuing genomic selection approaches, but can also be used by researchers for diversity studies, and can complement low-density genotyping services.

The service is expected to launch, via Intertek, in 2022.

Trials

International
Multilocation Variety Trial (IMLVT)

The world’s largest coffee variety trial has its first global cupping!

The IMLVT is the world’s largest coffee variety trial with
31 varieties (50,000 plantlets) installed in 27 plots in 17 countries. It was initiated in 2015. In 2021, the IMLVT continued to flourish, with more trial sites reaching maturity and producing harvests, allowing more data on yield and cup quality to be added to the global dataset on variety performance. With a critical mass of trials reaching maturity in 2021, we launched a global investigation into the impact of environmental conditions on cup quality for different varieties. Data will be compiled/analyzed over two years with results in 2023.

4 more trial sites reach maturity (total = 10)
Global cupping: 10 varieties from sites in 6 countries shipped to certified Q graders from 20 coffee companies for comprehensive sensory evaluation included descriptive cupping; samples also undergo chemistry, metabolomics, and near-infrared spectroscopy analysis.

We are also using this unprecedented network to identify the best locations to place future breeding trials. Because trial plots have been placed in a huge number of diverse environments, it’s possible to assess which sites are better at discriminating between varieties. For example, some sites face higher prevalence of coffee leaf rust, or more “rust pressure.” These sites more effectively differentiate between varieties that are susceptible to rust or resistant to it. This is critical when you are testing varieties for climate resilience. High performance across extreme environments is a good predictor of climate resilience.

F1 hybrids trial

Finalists will advance on the basis of high performance; risk study forthcoming

From an original group of 46 hybrid crosses, WCR has identified finalist candidates to advance to precommercial testing in Central America on the basis of high field and cup performance.

• The candidates were tested at three sites in Central America from 2016–2021

In 2021, 58 cuppers and Q graders from 38 companies provided sensory feedback
In 2022, WCR will conduct a risk assessment to evaluate the risk to family farmers of using F1 hybrid varieties, given the high prevalence of seed saving among smallholders.

The results of the risk assessment will influence decisions about if, how, and where to introduce new F1 hybrid varieties in the region.

• The same crosses are being evaluated on a delayed schedule at 3 sites in Rwanda; 2021 results indicate that 20 of the F1 hybrid candidates recorded a yield per tree >3 kg and total quality scores >80.

Seed Sector/Nurseries Better plants in Latin America

In 2021, WCR’s suite of tools and technologies for professionalizing the coffee seed sector grew.

Development of a new, low-cost genetic testing service to support seed-sector quality assurance for seed producers and nurseries was finalized and deployed in multiple large projects in Latin America.

Partnerships with the International Development Bank (IDB), the Maximizing Opportunities in Coffee and Cacao in the Americas (MOCCA) Program, and the Peru Coffee Alliance for Excellence (CAFE) project led to quality assurance evaluation of 139 seed lots producing 22 varieties in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Peru.
Expansion of seed sector work from a focus on nurseries and seed lots to the regulatory systems governing seed quality and access. WCR is working with partners including PROMECAFE and TechnoServe to develop national-scale strategies for strengthening coffee seed production quality standards in multiple countries.

• In El Salvador, seed quality testing of 63 seed lots
is supporting a Ministry of Agriculture-led national renovation program to increase resilience to climate change, productivity, and income of producers. The renovation initiative in El Salvador, which requires more than 150 million plants over the next 7 to 10 years, will be the first coffee renewal program to use the SNP-based genetic testing tool to support the distribution of genetically pure plants.

Quality assurance evaluation of 139 seed lots producing 15 varieties in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Peru.

Coming to Africa

Supporting coffee transformation through improved seed supply systems

In 2021, WCR piloted a new comprehensive approach to seed sector work, starting in Uganda and Kenya. Both countries are critical coffee suppliers to the world.

What are the barriers to getting better plants to farmers in Uganda?

Uganda has an ambitious national agenda to increase coffee production from 4.3 million bags to 20 million over the next five years. To achieve this, the government is incentivizing planting new coffee trees and is interested
in increasing quality control to ensure that farmers are accessing high-quality plants. WCR is supporting the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) in these processes. We began by working with Enveritas to conduct analyses

of arabica seed sector challenges. The results point to key opportunities to make the current seedling distribution system more efficient for farmers and nurseries, which we will build on in 2022.

• Interviews with 152 nursery operators in the three arabica producing regions of Uganda and 541 farmers in Rwenzori and Mt. Elgon.

46% of farmers have not planted seedlings in the past three years; 38% of farmers propagate their own seedlings (despite the fact that seedlings are offered by the government at no or heavily subsidized cost); 35% receive them from government-approved nurseries; 16% obtain them from neighbors.
Nurseries predominantly produce the SL-14 variety, while farmers predominantly say they prefer the Nyasaland variety.
The supply of arabica seedlings (approximately 59 million arabica seedlings) is well above demand (estimated

27 million seedlings), resulting in a lack of market for nurseries; most nurseries are not profitable. There is a mismatch between nursery supply and farmer demand for plants, leading farmers to propagate their own using less- than-ideal methods.
Seedlings are sometimes distributed at the wrong time of year, during the dry season, leading to high plant mortality.
At least two-thirds of nurseries implement most low-cost good agronomic practices like weeding, but other practices such as soil testing and grafting, which can lead to stronger root systems and drought resillience, are performed by less than 10% of the nuseries. These practices typically involve higher technical skill and are important for achieving higher-quality materials.

Ahead in 2022: Support to purify arabica seed lots and nursery plant material at the 10 largest arabica nurseries in Elgon, Rwenzori, and West Nile; translate and release nursery training videos; release Uganda coffee variety catalog; expand activities to robusta in the Masaka region.

The Shade Catalog

Available in both English and Bahasa, the Catalog empowers Indonesian farmers to select shade trees that are good for coffee, support and diversify household incomes, and provide benefits to wildlife and ecosystem services. The Shade Catalog gathers existing data on trees found in coffee landscapes—from the species’ main attributes, uses, and benefits to propagation and management tips—and makes it freely accessible to support whole-farm planning. A collaboration between World Coffee Research, Conservation International, and the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center.

Yields’ Heterogeneity in Coffee: A Global Perspective

Dr. Rocco Machiavello, Associate Professor in Management, London School of Economics

Dr. Davide Del Prete, Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Naples Parthenope

Researchers from the London School of Economics and University of Naples Parthenope, using global farmer data from Enveritas, generated an analysis on the price/yield paradox. It explores differences in coffee yields around the world, why measuring the agricultural productivity gap matters, how resource allocations can deliver different outcomes on yield and price, and the impact that increasing yields for the lowest-performing farmers

would have on global supply and price.
