"I’m on a farm in a remote village in South Sudan in western Equatoria state where farmers are planting Excelsa coffee. This is a heat and drought resistant coffee, it’s native to South Sudan, and experts are saying that this could be a game changer on the global stage amid spiking coffee prices, some of the highest in history, and typical coffee producing countries like Brazil struggling because of climate change. So you can see behind me this is the tree. Now it’s just rained, but it’s usually extremely hot here, 30 to 40 °C, and the trees can withstand that."

"The government is hoping that they will be able to produce more and get it exported onto the market and make money for the country and farmers and locals are hoping that this is going to be a game changer for them as well, that they’re going to be able to make more money, send their children to school, put more food on the table."

"I’m very happy with my coffee, I’d like to jump and touch the branch of the trees because of my happiness. Those who haven’t planted, be strong and plant like me and when you plant, look after it properly, don’t let it get burnt from fire. I’ve looked after my coffee and fire hasn’t impacted it."
