1st harvest of ILMVT (International Multilocation Variety trial) by WCR, using ECOM/CIRAD and PROMECAFE/CIRAD arabica hybrids

One of the first initiatives WCR launched in 2012 was the International Multilocation Variety Trial (IMLVT). Each of the 23 participating countries planted the same 31 varieties. Most of the trial sites were established in 2016, and earlier this month the first coffee cherries began to arrive. Here are photos of the first harvest at one IMLVT site in Guatemala.
