In Japanese, “Hachi” translates to “eight”. When examining Japanese culture, the number eight (8) is associated with good luck, fortune, and prosperity, representing the infinity. HACHI represents the culmination of a visionary collaboration between two titans of the coffee world: Diego Bermudez and Allan Hartmann. By blending the cutting-edge scientific practices developed by Diego Bermudez with the time honoured traditions of Allan Hartmann, Hachi embodies the epitome of excellence in coffee farming. This groundbreaking partnership is not just about combining two renowned names; it’s about merging distinct universes with a shared objective: to revive the authentic essence of the Panamanian Geisha and unlock the full potential of new exotic varieties. Hachi is a testament to the power of biotechnology and agroforestry, showcasing the largest project of its kind ever undertaken in coffee production. Unlike seed propagation, which introduces genetic variability and unpredictability, cloning offers unparalleled precision in trait selection. Through meticulous tissue culture techniques, we identify and propagate coffee plants with the highest genetic integrity and cup quality, ensuring consistency in flavour profile, aroma, and brewing characteristics across generations. This precision empowers us to preserve and amplify the essence of Panamanian Geisha and some other rare varieties, elevating it to new heights of excellence. Cloning accelerates the pace of genetic improvement by bypassing the lengthy process of sexual reproduction inherent in seed propagation. With cloning, we can rapidly multiply elite coffee varieties, exponentially increasing our breeding efficiency and shortening the time required to develop superior cultivars. This accelerated genetic improvement not only enhances the quality and productivity of our coffee crops but also enables us to adapt more swiftly to evolving market preferences and climate challenges. Genetic drift, the random fluctuation of allele frequencies in a population, poses a significant challenge in seed-based propagation, leading to undesirable changes in crop traits over time. Cloning mitigates this risk by faithfully preserving the genetic makeup of selected plants, ensuring the perpetuation of desirable traits across successive generations. By maintaining genetic stability, we safeguard the purity and authenticity of Panamanian Geisha, safeguarding its unique character for future generations to enjoy. Cloning facilitates the standardisation of cultural practices by eliminating genetic variability among coffee plants. With uniform genetic material, we can tailor agronomic interventions such as fertilisation, irrigation, and pruning to the specific requirements of our cultivated varieties, optimising resource allocation and maximising yield potential. This precision in cultural management not only enhances the efficiency of the operations but also minimises environmental impact and resource waste.
