Coffee farming represents an important opportunity for increasing resiliency and alleviating poverty in rural Yemen, particularly for women.

Coffee can be highly profitable, with an average profit margin of 85%.

Coffee is an attractive cash crop, contributing significantly to farmers' income compared to other crops like Qat and Corn.

There is significant potential to scale coffee production in fallow lands, which can lead to increased income for farming households.

Water shortages are the principal challenge for coffee farmers, and rainwater harvesting and storage are critical sustainability concerns.

Fertilisation has little to no impact on net income per coffee tree due to extremely high soil alkalinity.

Disease and pests significantly reduce household incomes and proper management strategies are needed.

Price is a key motivator for farmers to invest in coffee production.

Women farmers lack access to social and economic opportunities, and gender equity initiatives are important for empowering women.
