To address the issue, researchers are working on climate-resilient coffee varieties.

The new Central Coffee Research Institute (CCRI) in Kodagu is concentrating on four wild varieties which are found to be climate resilient. The species identified are -- Coffea stenophylla, Coffea racemosa, Coffea liberica and Coffea excelsa."There is resistance in these wild varieties as they have stood the natural test of time. They have strength in their roots, have high yields and can withstand high temperatures. The four varieties are different from the existing and popular Arabica and Robusta coffees.
