ORIGIN Mozonte, Nicaragua
VARIETY Java
Genetic fingerprinting of molecular markers has revealed that Java is a selection from an Ethiopian landrace population called Abysinia. It was introduced to Costa Rica in 1991 to provide options for smallholders using low inputs. As indicated by the name, the variety was introduced to the island of Java directly from Ethiopia by the Dutch in the early 19th century. (WCR)
