Coffee :

• Coffee is a tropical plantation crop. 16^0 - 280 C temperature, 150-250 cm

rainfall and well-drained slopes are essential for it.

• It grows on the hilly slopes of 900-1800 m Low temperature, frost, dry

weather for a long time and harsh sunshine are harmful for its plants.

• Coffee plants grow better in laterite soils of Karnataka in India.


• There are three varieties of coffee Arabica, Robusta and Liberica. India

produces the superior quality coffee ‘Arabica’ which has a great demand

in the international market.

• At present, more than 2/3rd of the total coffee production in India is

produced by Karnataka alone. Kerala and Tamil Nadu are other major

coffee producing states. 98.89% of the total coffee production of the

country is produced by these three states together.
