Coffee farms in South Suda is at the center of effort to rebuild a once-dormant coffee industry.

Farmers are turning to Excelsa, a rare climate-resistance species, as sustainable alternative through challenging weather patterns and a global coffee crisis.

Excelsa is a native to South Sudan and to few other African nations.'

It benefits from deep roots and thick leaves, which it allows it to withstand droughts, high temperatures, and common pests.

there's hope that it could stabilize an industry where traditional producers are challenged by climate change.
