A coffee bush lives for roughly 70 years and it produces 2.5 kg of berries giving 500 g of green coffee beans. This represents an annual income per tree of 0.50 Euros in the worst case and at best, 4 Euros. This is the price that must be paid to maintain the plantation, irrigate it, scatter fertilisers and fight diseases.
