A brief statement from the coffee grower regarding the cultivar:   “ The purpose of seeking out the research institution Fundação Procafé at the beginning of the implementation of my crops was to seek relevant information on the cultivars that best adapted to my technological level, altitude, soil conditions among other factors, preferably with disease resistance, productivity and longevity. After consulting with the researchers at Fazenda Experimental de Franca, we selected the cultivar Arara and Catucai Amarelo 2 SL for implantation.
