Researchers from CIRAD and its partner, Ecom Agroindustrial, have just mastered a cutting edge propagation technique, cell suspension, for Coffea arabica. This key stage in the propagation of in vitro plantlets through somatic embryogenesis will make it possible to produce the millions of coffee plantlets required to meet market demand for high-quality selected varieties. This pioneering work opens up new possibilities for the propagation of plants and varieties on an industrial scale. It will also mean considerably higher income levels for many producers.
