Detailed explanation-1: -Temperatures between 73 and 82 °F (23 and 28 °C) are the most favourable. Rainfall of 60 to 80 inches (1, 500 to 2, 000 mm) per year is required along with a dry period of two to three months for the Arabica.
Detailed explanation-2: -Optimal coffee-growing conditions include cool to warm tropical climates, rich soils, and few pests or diseases. The world’s Coffee Belt spans the globe along the equator, with cultivation in North, Central, and South America; the Caribbean; Africa; the Middle East; and Asia.
Detailed explanation-3: -To grow properly, coffee crops require specific temperature, light and humidity levels and those needs are best met in Latin America’s so-called coffee belt, a region that includes countries between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, climate is key to how coffee grows. Protection from direct sunlight and ample rainfall tend to provide good coffee growing conditions. Countries with distinct dry and rainy seasons are favourable, so that farmers can target the wet season to plant coffee seedlings so that it’s easier to dig holes.
Detailed explanation-5: -In general, coffee thrives with 60-90 inches of annual rainfall. Below 30 inches is very stressful and likely to cause low yields of small beans, in addition to compromising the plants’ overall health.
