The International Coffee Collection has some 1,900 accessions from Ethiopia, Yemen, Kenya, Tanzania, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, research institutes and other countries of Central American.
This collection is at CATIE’s Cabiria Farm on 8 hectares designated for the conservation of materials in the genus Coffea. It contains more than 9,000 coffee plants.
Our collection conserves 11 different species of coffee and it is ranked as the most important germplasm bank for Coffea arabica in the Western Hemisphere. It combines the genetic diversity of more than 700 wild materials and cultivated varieties and by keeping these in the public domain, it has an important impact on improving coffee production internationally.
