coffee cultivation
Growing coffee plants
Coffee cultivation is the agricultural practice of growing coffee plants for their beans.
It encompasses selecting varieties, preparing soil, planting, pruning, and harvesting—typically in tropical regions at higher elevations where temperature and rainfall favor the crop.
Sustainable coffee cultivation has become a major concern for environmentally conscious consumers.
