Daitya lemmy.worldCoffee production in Malaysia has a ways to go yet. The Edge Magazine reported in 2020 on some of the challenges faced by coffee planters, those planting Sabarica (https://theedgemalaysia.com/article/cover-story-wake-and-smell-sabarica). Meanwhile, the Agriculture Ministry reported in 2021 that coffee yield in 2020 was just 4,241 tonnes! (https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2021/10/01/agriculture-dept-ready-to-assist-coffee-entrepreneurs-in-malaysia-says-depu/2010018) There's potential, but again, it's labour-intensive ... maybe Malaysia would do well to experiment with harvesting robots, to relieve the labour pressures across the industry.4
