If, as a rule, almost always end up in the trash, they are, according to what suggests a survey released in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a rich source of antioxidants.

Honduras: Coffee rust will cause the loss of more than 1.5 million bags

23/01/2013

The president of the Association of Coffee Exporters of Honduras (Adecafeh), Omar Acosta, estimates that the coffee rust will cause the loss of more than 1.5 million bags of coffee in the country. The loss should range between 25% and 30% of the total harvest (5.6 million bags) and cause a reduction in foreign exchange of about $ 600 million.
The damage caused by rust affects producers, exporters and Honduran economy in general, because coffee is one of the engines that drive the economy of that country. In 2011/12 harvest revenue from exports reached U.S. $ 1,440 million.
