Abstract:
The appearance of Coffee Berry Disease in Ethiopia
is placed at around 1968/69, while its out break was
confirmed in 1971 in four major Coffee Growing Regions
(Keffa, Illubabor, Wollega and Sidamo). Since its out
break the disease has been causing a considerable damage
particularly in these four regions and as of 1974 the
disease has been spreading rapidly in major coffee
growing areas.
In order to be able to quantify the loss due to
CBD in all the project areas the Coffee Improvement
Project started conducting CBD Loss Assessment Survey
in 1977/78.
The results of the 1985/86 Coffee Loss Assessment
sample survey for 15 CIPAs are given in this publication.
An attempt has been made in this report to give a
detailed information regarding the loss of coffee due to
CBD in the CIPAs.
