Introduction to Qianjie-Coffee growing Zone

To understand what a "coffee belt" is, we first need to know that the growing environment of coffee tree plays a decisive role in the life cycle of plants: water, air, soil, and light. However, for coffee tree, altitude is also added here.

Planting requirements of Coffee trees

Precipitation (1500mm-2260mm)

Average annual gas temperature (17 ℃-25 ℃)

Volcanic rock is the most suitable for good soil drainage.

There is plenty of sunshine.

Altitude in short, high altitude, high quality.

Coffee belt, 25 degrees north and south latitude with the equator as the center, runs through Central and South America, Oceania, Asia and Africa. This area is in direct sunlight all the year round, with abundant calories and sufficient Rain Water, with an annual average temperature of more than 20 ℃, unique climatic conditions, the most suitable for coffee growth, the production of high-quality coffee.

Climate is the decisive factor for coffee cultivation. Coffee trees are only suitable for growing in the tropics or subtropics, so the zone between latitude 25 degrees south and north is the most suitable for growing coffee. This coffee production zone is generally referred to as "coffee belt" or "coffee area".

However, not all the land located in this area can cultivate good coffee trees. The ideal planting conditions for coffee trees are: a warm climate with a temperature of 15-25 ℃, and a rainfall of 1500-2000 mm throughout the year, and the rainfall time should be consistent with the flowering cycle of the coffee tree. Of course, in addition to the coordination of seasons and rainfall, there should be fertile soil. The most suitable soil for growing coffee is fertile soil with good drainage and volcanic ash.
