CoffeeSome bits about coffee that may be of interest. We have the best of coffee "coffee Arabica" growing here but.... The sad story here is that we & many other small-holders find that it is just not worth to grow coffee anymore. We cannot even cover our costs when we get approx. Rs 300/- per kilo (less than US $ 3) . Packeted, ground coffee sells at approx Rs 2,000/- per kilo (about US $ 20). We have to depend on the 'middle-man' to sell our beans as it is not cost effective to transport small quantities to Colombo. So if you visit Gomera now, you'll find coffee trees laden with berries & as many on the ground below. This is a pic of coffee berries in Gomera. Thanks to Steve & several hours of struggling I somewhat mastered layering of photos.  contd.... Post edited by: Priyeni, at: 10/09/2012 08:50 AM Priyeni

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)
