There's quite a lot of diversity in coffee already. Coffees from different regions taste wildly different. Climate change is just ravaging the coffee band. Ethiopian coffee will likely be gone in a couple decades as the growing region is pushed north into the Ethiopian highlands where it can't be grown since the highlands are actually huge pillars of rock rather than highlands as people typically understand them.
It's a shame, really, because Ethiopian coffee is absolutely wonderful.
- adrianN 6y agoHow much of the Ethiopian economy is made up of coffee exports?
- UweSchmidt 6y ago34% (Google has become worse for long tail search queries, but interestingly now has an 'answer box' for wide ranging questions like this one.)
- kevinmchugh 6y agoBe careful with those answer boxes, they don't always answer the question you want to know. It seems that coffee is 34% of Ethiopian exports, not their economy
