Manakhah Community Replaces 2,500 Qat Trees with Coffee

On 7 November, residents of Akamat al-Maqab village in Manakhah, Sana’a Governorate, launched an initiative to uproot 2,500 qat trees and replace them with coffee plants. The initiative aims to expand higher-value agricultural production, improve household income and strengthen local food and economic resilience. No project budget, coffee purchase price or expected production value was disclosed. The initiative creates opportunities in sustainable agriculture, coffee processing, agricultural inputs and rural supply chains. HPC can support agricultural feasibility studies, sustainability assessments and market research for coffee-sector investment.
