Funding issue halts CBB tests

Coffee Industry Corporation (CIC) Grower and Research Services General Manager, Dr Mark Kenny, said funding is needed for the tests to be carried out at the University of Florida in the USA.

The samples were sent in March and since then have remained untouched.

“We have been in contact with our partner in the US and our samples are yet to go through the testing,” said Kenny.

“Everything cost money and the samples that we are sending away, they are sort of commercial laboratories so we need funding for everything.”
