Compact Jimma selection released in 1978/79 against coffee berry disease, rated good for cup quality in Ethiopian trial records.
JARC 74110 is one of the numbered coffee selections released by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) in Ethiopia, drawn from Ethiopian coffee populations and evaluated for yield, disease resistance, cup quality and adaptation. In a Jimma seedling-inoculation study, 74110 showed higher laboratory disease severity yet stayed field-resistant to coffee berry disease. JARC releases account for a small share of Ethiopian production, since most specialty lots come from traditional heirloom populations.
