beetle, borer, coffee, broca

FROM YOUTUBE.COM/BEHINDTHEBEANS:In this episode, I'll show you the biggest little threat to coffee farms around the world: the coffee borer beetle. This nasty little bugger makes its home in the coffee cherry and eats away at the coffee bean, causing tremendous damage to the crop. You can even see the damage in the final product, the roasted coffee bean. Prepare yourself...this won't be pretty.
