Hawaii Coffee Association to Host 2021 Online Conference and Cupping Competition
After enduring a year of dual challenges from both human and plant diseases, the Hawaii Coffee Association is preparing to host its 2021 online conference and cupping competition.
The online conference will run concurrently with the 12th Annual Hawaii Coffee Cupping Competition Finals, taking place over two days from June 24th to June 25th. This includes an awards ceremony scheduled for 5:00 PM on June 25th.
This online conference is free of charge for both Hawaii Coffee Association members and non-members. The deadline for cupping competition registration is May 21st.
Battling Dual Health Crises
Over the past year, Hawaii has maintained a vocal stance regarding global pandemic issues, contributing to efforts in slowing both the spread of COVID-19 among humans and the progression of coffee leaf rust in plants.
One of the well-known pathogens causing coffee leaf rust, Hemileia vastatrix, first came to human attention in the 1860s in East Africa and Sri Lanka. Since then, this disease has spread to coffee growing regions worldwide. Coffee leaf rust is highly transmissible and its destructive nature can devastate coffee crops.
Around 2012, small-scale coffee farmers in parts of South America, Central America, and Mexico began noticing the appearance of coffee leaf rust, and these regions continue to suffer from its rapid spread to this day. The disease was first detected in Hawaii in October 2020 in the Haiku area of Maui. Two weeks later, the coffee crop killer—the strain causing leaf rust—was discovered on the Big Island.
"2020 was a year when both the novel coronavirus and coffee leaf rust ran rampant, and we are confident in our ability to resolve these multiple crises in 2021," said Chris Manfredi, president of the Hawaii Coffee Association, at a recent press conference for the 2021 online event.
