Introduced to Southeast Asia in the late 19th century as a resistant alternative to Coffee Leaf Rust, Liberica took hold in this region and never left. Today it is still grown here by smallholder farmers, often sold in local markets or blended anonymously with Robusta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96b’s work with the cooperative Htx nông nghiệp sinh thái bốn phương has changed that.
