Here are some general guidelines for watering coffee plants

When it comes to watering processes for coffee plants in PNG, the amount and frequency of watering can vary depending on factors like the climate, soil type, and stage of growth.

Established Trees

Mature coffee trees in PNG usually require regular watering, especially during dry seasons. It's essential to provide enough water to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Seedlings and Young Plants

Newly planted coffee seedlings need more frequent watering to help them establish strong root systems. Care should be taken to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Rainfall

In regions like PNG where coffee is grown, rainfall often plays a significant role in watering the coffee plants. However, supplemental irrigation may be needed during drier periods to ensure optimal growth.

Soil Drainage

Good soil drainage is crucial for coffee plants to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to their growth. Ensuring proper drainage can help maintain the right balance of moisture in the soil.

Coffee cherries are typically harvested by hand, either by stripping all the cherries off the tree at once or by selective picking of only ripe cherries, In PNG, the coffee harvest season can vary based on the region and altitude, but it usually occurs from May to October.
There are two main methods of processing coffee cherries to extract the green coffee beans:

Dry Method: In this method, the cherries are spread out in the sun to dry. They are raked and turned regularly to ensure even drying.In PNG, the beans are typically sun-dried on raised beds, patios, or tarpaulins.

Wet Method: This method involves pulping the cherries to remove the outer skin, then fermenting them to remove the remaining pulp before drying the beans.
The dried green coffee beans are hulled, milled, and polished to remove the parchment layer and any remaining debris.
The green coffee beans are graded based on size and weight, and then sorted to remove any defective beans or foreign objects.
Once the green coffee beans are processed, graded, and sorted, they are typically packed in jute bags and shipped for export to coffee roasters around the world.
