Growing coffee for production is not easy, as it only develops most optimally between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, a strip of land known as the coffee belt, at altitudes between 800 and 2,000 meters.
Productive and healthy coffee plants require careful attention and dedication that specialty coffee growers take into account.
In this post we are going to name some of the most important ones that favor the cultivation of coffee:
In the coffee growing areas the predominant climate is tropical and equatorial, where humidity prevails throughout the year and is between 60% and 80%, a factor that enriches the soil where coffee is grown.
The recommended number of hours of sunshine is1,800 hours per year. It is advisable not to exceed this number since it could damage the development of the growth of the coffee plant and accelerate the speed of maturation of the Cherry, which is a negative aspect for the quality of the coffee.
It is recommended to grow under trees as they protect the crop from solar radiation in the dry season and will help with the supply of organic matter in the soil, giving a substantial improvement to the microbial life of the soil. It also reduces the effects of strong winds and possible adversities such as hail.
With the arrival of the climate changeIn addition, many of the aforementioned factors may be altered, which is why all members of the coffee chain must put their grain of sand so that we can continue to have favorable weather conditions to be able to enjoy Coffee free of alterations and Cultivation as has been done for many years.
