Abstract
Coffee (Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora) is a
globally significant cash crop cultivated in over 60 countries. However, its
production is constantly challenged by a diverse range of insect pests that
cause severe yield losses, reduce bean quality, and increase production costs.
This review explores the global status of coffee pests, including major pests
like the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei), coffee leaf miner (Leucoptera
coffeella), and coffee stem borer (Xylotrechus quadripes). It
highlights recent trends in pest outbreaks, climate change influences, and the
role of monoculture practices. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies
including biological control, host plant resistance, cultural practices, and
botanical and microbial pesticides are examined. This review underscores the
necessity of location-specific and ecologically sustainable pest management
practices to maintain productivity and ecological balance in coffee ecosystems.
