Costs for maintenance of Arabica Coffee Plantation & other information Needed

[sharemax]

Hello,

Can some one help me with a breakdown of costs to maintain a 10 Acer Arabica Coffee Plantation.

For example please see below:

When should we start the maintenance after Picking is over
How should the maintenance be started
Cost of Manure & at what durations it should be put to the plants
Cost of Lime to be sprayed & at what intervals
Any diseases that we need to be concerned about? Which will spoil the crop?

Anything else that would be useful for me to know, as we are planning to buy an estate in Chickmangalore area.

Your help is most appreciated.

Dear Sir,
Being beginner for coffee estate/plantation, it is advisable for you to know personally about all of your questions on your questions on coffee plantation from a farmer than from forum.

Why can't you plan a tour to coffee planter and be with him for some time until you get practical experience as well as perfect picture of a coffee estate?

I can do the needful for your tour plan for your study on coffee.
Cll me for more clarifications.
Regards.
SWAMY

Hello Gunda,

Thank you for the info, i was made aware of this problem. But was never told that it is uncontrolable. Will look into this before we make any progress.
