Official Accreditation for Coffee Nursery Owners to Improve Coffee Quality

Chikkamagaluru, Sept. 13: The Central Coffee Research Institute (CCRI)—functioning under the Coffee Board, the country's premier coffee research organization—has decided, for the first time in its history, to involve private partners in boosting quality production for the future of Indian coffee.

Until now, the Coffee Board merely supplied seeds of various varieties to interested growers. Now, taking a step further, the Board will grant official accreditation to nursery owners who procure these seeds. As part of this accreditation process, Coffee Board officials will visit the nurseries to inspect plant growth and provide guidance. However, nursery owners seeking this accreditation must cultivate only the seeds provided by the Coffee Board; the use of seeds from other sources or their own plantations is not permitted. Owners are required to pay a prescribed fee to the Coffee Board and must also remit a royalty on the sale of the plants.
