Coffee: the plant and the product

This book by Professor Rene Coste is a technical book which, although constructed along the same lines as his previous publications, has been thoroughly restructured, revised and updated, to keep abreast of the latest knowledge and technical inputs. These advances have led in recent years to a better exploitation of coffee trees and coffee throughout the world, particularly with regard to genetics, tissue culture, chemistry and physiology. The book is suitable as a textbook and reference book for students to postgraduate level and can be used as a practical manual for plantation and processing plant managers and technical staff. Well-illustrated and comprehensive, the book concludes with a survey of coffee production in Africa, Central and South America and Asia, and coffee consumption worldwide.
