Conventional Coffee
Conventional coffee refers to coffee that is produced using traditional agricultural methods, which typically involve the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. This is in contrast to organic coffee, which is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals. Conventional coffee production methods often prioritize high yields and efficiency, aiming to maximize the quantity of coffee beans produced. To achieve this, conventional coffee farmers may rely on chemical inputs to control pests, weeds, and diseases that can threaten the coffee crop. They may also use synthetic fertilizers to enhance plant growth and increase yields
