		<description><![CDATA[This past April, a team of experts representing World Coffee Research traveled to the Boma Plateau in South Sudan on a germplasm collection expedition through the forest. The plateau sits across a valley from Ethiopia, considered the origin of the Arabica coffee species. Staff members from the USAID-funded project titled JGMUST: A Consortium for Development hosted the coffee experts. The JGMUST project is based at the John Garang Memorial University for Science and Technology in Bor, South Sudan, and is led by the Borlaug Institute. Two students, Thon Nyok Dor and Major Ayuen, as well as one faculty member, Dr. Richard, from the South Sudanese university accompanied the coffee experts on the expedition. <span class="read-more"><a href="http://borlaug.tamu.edu/2012/05/15/wcr-team-finds-wild-arabica-coffee-in-south-sudanese-forest/">Read More &#8594;</a></span>]]></description>

While skirmishes have intermittently erupted between South Sudan and the country from which it gained independence last July, the past few weeks have been the most volatile.  South Sudanese forces captured then withdrew from the oil-rich border town of Heglig and the Sudanese Air Force responded with repeated bombings across their southern border.  South Sudan’s president Salva Kiir stated that with the recent bombings Sudan has “declared war” on his nation while Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir has vowed not to negotiate with the “poisonous insects” in the South Sudanese government. <span class="read-more"><a href="http://borlaug.tamu.edu/2012/05/03/policy-brief-south-sudan-conflict-and-the-way-forward/">Read More &#8594;</a></span>]]></description>

Is it time to add specialty coffee to the list? On the face of it, there seems to be little cause for concern. Global coffee production, while fluctuating somewhat, has risen overall since 2000, reaching 132.4 million bags in the 2011/12 growing season, according to the International Coffee Organization. This is an 8 percent increase over 2009, and 18 percent over 2000. <span class="read-more"><a href="http://borlaug.tamu.edu/2012/05/02/world-coffee-research-in-the-press-growing-concern-coffee-and-climate-change/">Read More &#8594;</a></span>]]></description>
