T nHE coffee plant was introduced into Jamaica early in the eighteenth century, during the period of general dissemination of the tree from the eastern to western hemispheres. The cultivation of coffee increased rapidly and steadily until 1814 when 34,000,000 pounds were exported. The occurrence of floods and hurricanes during and immediately following 1815, together with the abolition of slavery, caused most of the large plantations to be abandoned
