Epilogue

Sincc the 1960s， the Spice and Bcverage Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences （hereinafter rcferred to as SBRI） has endeavoured to import and collect foreign coffee varieties.Its research priority has been on robusta coffee.
In 1974， SBRI imported Mundo Novo from Mexico and the Cameroon variety from Camcroon.In 1978， twenty—three varieties of arabica coffee were introduced to Xinglong for crossbreeding with seedlings from Hainan， Yunnan， Guangxi， Mexico and Malaysia， among which four varieties were from Mexico， one from Malaysia and one from Brazil.They were fit for introduction and cultivation in low altitude regions of Hainan.These varieties had a reasonable size， strong disease resistance， and high yields.
