First Specialist Meeting on Coffee Research in East Africa

Abstract

The need for East African scientists working in coffee to meet for discussion and an exchange of ideas has been recognised for several years. Prior to the meeting reported here, which was held in February, 1966, aspects of coffee research in East Africa had been discussed from time to time at meetings of various Standing and Ad Hoc Committees, when the subject was common to this crop. The East African Agriculture and Forestry Research Organization of the East African Common Services Organization, was pleased, therefore, to make arrangements for the first Specialist Meeting on Coffee Research in East Africa, to be held.
