Kaffeodlaren står inför att hantera den förödande svampsjukdomen ”Kaffebladrost” som förhindrar bladens förmåga att ta upp solljus och kan innebära att upp till 50 % av skörden förloras. Speciellt i tider där kaffepriset sjunker har lett till en sämre hantering av odlingarna vilket främjat spridningen av sjukdomen. Den lägre prissättningen har även lätt till att odlare inte är lika motiverade att Coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) is a patogen currently threatening sustainable coffee production all across the world where coffee is grown. Yield losses can reach up to 50 % of the production in Brazil and primarily affect regions at low altitude.

Problem – While extensive research has been conducted on the liabilities of newness that new ventures experience, there is a gap in research focussing instead on the abilities of newness. Understanding the more positive aspects that derive from being new is important to understand how new ventures survive and compete with, or even outcompete, established firms.
