Importing live coffee seeds from another country for Germination

[Dan11]

Hey guys,

I need your advice on this.I wish to plant certain African and Vietnamese Arabic plants,but I dont know from where I could get the live seeds.

Some people say that Ethiopia has banned sending seeds out of the country,are there people who could give me leads as to where I could get these live seeds from?Btw Im from India.

Cheers

Dan

Contact sweetmarias.com and ask about it. It was quite some time ago, but Tom Owen the owner was offering seeds for people that wanted to grow some decorative coffee plants.

What are you planning with the seeds, if I may ask?

You may be able to find a nursery somewhere that will actually sell you some small coffee plants/seedlings too, which is what I believe many coffee farmers do when they want to start up new growth.

Are green coffee beans not viable? Too dry?

It looks like relatively fresh beans from current crops will produce viable seeds.

Dan: If you can learn the correct seasons for getting fresh green beans from around the world, you should be able to buy small quantities from someone in your neck of the woods.
