Because of the proximity of the coffee estates to the rain forests, seeds of the coffee are dispersed by birds and mammals into the rainforest. These seeds (esp of Robusta coffee - the less delicate varity) grow into coffee plants in the understory of the rainforest and are not giving enough space for the native species of plants
