(b) & (c): While the export of coffee has declined during last three years in quantitative terms,it has
increased in value terms. The reason for decline in export of coffee could partly be attributed to decline
in production.
(d) to (f): Yes, Madam. With a view to expand coffee cultivation, Coffee Board has been implementing
developmental programmes for coffee development in North Eastern Region and Non Traditional areas.
During 11th Five Year Plan, Coffee Board has proposed to support coffee expansion programme taken
up by the Integrated Tribal Development Agency on 24000 ha. area in Andhra Pradesh and on 850 ha.
area in North Eastern Region, which will facilitate export of coffee. As a part of export promotion,
the Coffees from different regions with their logos are promoted including the coffee from the areas
under Integrated Tribal Development Agency, as ‘Araku’ Coffee. Constant endeavour is being made by the
Government to help the coffee growers to ease their bank debts.
