Abstract:
The study outlined the effect of health on Coffee farmers and consumers. Numerous health benefits of Coffee consumption were identified despite several side effects when consumed in large quantity overtime. It was observed that benefits of coffee consumption outweigh the negative implication. Therefore, Coffee consumption should be encouraged as it is useful in treating some illnesses that would otherwise cost fortune when treated with conventional drugs. Also, with the reported occurrence of caffeine a safe, clean processing and preservative method should be encouraged. Government should also motivate more research on coffee utilization in drug industries because of presence of caffeine, in order to stimulate production as this would also help boost the gross domestic production (GDP). Health and safety training should also be encouraged through extension agents to lecture farmers on personal protective techniques (PPT), as this will improve the health of Coffee farmers for efficient production.
