## Historia

The coffee berry borer, native to Central Africa, has spread to virtually every coffee-producing region since the early 20th century. First detected in the Americas in 1988, it reached Mexico, Colombia, and Central America within a decade. The beetle bores into coffee cherries to lay eggs, with larvae feeding on the seeds and causing quality degradation and yield losses of 30-80% in untreated fields. Research institutions worldwide have developed biological controls, trapping methods, and cultural practices that form the basis of modern integrated pest management.
