Earthweek: coffee plague An incurable tree root disease, ‘coffee wilt
disease’ or CWD, has attacked and killed more than 9 million

spreads, the Ugandan coffee industry, upon which more than 1.5
million homes depend, could be crippled. Coffee is the leading
foreign exchange earner for Uganda. 10 JUNE 2000
