Improvement in Brazil coffee

Abstract

Producing the best quality possible of the various types of Brazil coffee is the aim of the Departamento Nacional do Café (DNC). Making this product available when and as desired to the various consuming countries is another aim of the same organization. To accomplish the former, a vast plan of improvement has been set in operation, with connections in every branch of the industry from plantation to shipside, all with the purpose of providing a product of the highest quality for discriminating consumers. Important among the facilities provided are model treatment plants whose output is a clean, wholesome berry. Mr. da Fonseca, occupying a prominent post in the Departamento, describes these and the ideals and results for which they stand.
