Coffee Belt (COFFEE WORLD MAP) Coffee beans are generally grown at what latitude?

Most of the coffee production is between the Tropic of Cancer, 25 degrees north of the tropical or subtropical equator and 30 degrees south of the equator. An area with an annual average temperature of 16-25 degrees Celsius, no Frosts Descent and rainfall of 1600-2000 mm. At present, coffee is mainly produced in more than 70 countries. Dai is located in an area with an altitude of 300,400m, and sometimes coffee trees are planted in highlands at an altitude of 2000-2500 meters, but those planted on hillsides above 1500 meters above sea level have better quality.

Coffee trees grow in tropical or subtropical agricultural gardens centered around the equator and called coffee belts.

In addition, growing coffee also requires daylight and proper shade, which is most suitable for planting on fertile soil or volcanic ash soil. Therefore, the origin of coffee is widely distributed in South America, Central America, the West Indies, Asia, Africa, Arabia, the South Pacific and Oceania. Such as Ethiopia and Tanzania in Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Costa rica in Central and South America, Vietnam and Indonesia in Southeast Asia, are all major coffee producers.

In terms of production, Central and South America accounts for about 60 per cent of the world's coffee production, Africa and Arabia account for about 20 per cent, and the remaining 20 per cent are distributed in Asian countries and islands.

In South America, Brazil accounts for 30-50% of the world's output, while Colombia accounts for 10-20%. At present, the coffee production of Vietnam in Asia has surpassed that of Colombia, and Indonesia has become the fourth largest coffee producer in the world.
