Abstract
To rear the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei, two meridic diets have been developed, one in New Caledonia (B) and the other in Mexico (V).

Results showed that the borer develops better in the V diet but less contamination is produced using the plastic cups. The average production (
