India's coffee industry is currently dominated by southern India, with Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu accounting for more than 90% of the country's coffee production. At present, about 250000 people in India grow coffee beans, and almost 80% of the country's coffee production [3] will be exported to Germany, Russia, Spain, Belgium, Slovenia, the United States, Japan, Greece, the Netherlands, France, Italy and other places. Most of the exported coffee beans are transported through the Suez Canal [1].

Growing environment

Coffee bean cultivation in India

Climate

The ideal climatic conditions for the growth of coffee beans are 23 to 28 degrees Celsius, 1.5 to 2.0 meters of rainfall, and a dry season of 2-3 months after the rainy season. The cold temperature near freezing point is not suitable for growing coffee. Although the rainfall in southern India is less than 1 meter, there are irrigation facilities, temperature and relative humidity are also conducive to the growth of coffee beans [4].

Fungal erosion

In India, coffee plants are often affected by fungi. The fungus that most often affects the growth of coffee beans is Hemileia vastatrix, which still has no cure. Coffee plants are also affected by a disease called coffee rot, which can cause serious damage to coffee plants during the rainy season [5].

Popularity degree

The first coffee shop in India was in New Delhi on October 27, 1957. Since then, chain cafes have gradually emerged across India. Nowadays, coffee bars (coffee bars) are becoming more and more popular in India, and Coffee Day Cafe is the largest chain of coffee bars in the country. Like growing coffee beans, coffee consumption is higher in southern India than in other regions [9].

Administration and Management

The Indian coffee industry is managed by the Indian Coffee Commission (Coffee Board of India) under the Indian Ministry of Industry and Commerce [10]. The Indian Coffee Commission is responsible for promoting grown coffee, the sale of coffee at home and abroad, conducting coffee research, providing financial assistance to small-scale coffee farmers, ensuring the treatment of coffee farmers at work and unsold coffee [11].

There is very little coffee from India, and there are usually only two kinds of coffee: wind-stained Malaba and Masojin bricks. The raw beans of the wind-stained Malaba are dry, yellow and sweet, but slightly monotonous, because they are shipped after they are placed in a ventilated warehouse to be caressed by the Indian Ocean monsoon for several seasons, so they have no sour taste, but the flavor is not enough; but Maiso is a green fresh bean with rich flavor, with wood grass aroma, mellow and low acidity, sweet taste.
