Question 20

State one climatic and one commercial problem that coffee cultivation in India faces.

Answer

Climatic problem — Dry weather, high temperature, long droughts and unseasonal rainfall.

Commercial problem — Low productivity and yields due to outdated farming practices, lack of access to modern technology and inputs, and a lack of investment in research and development. Due to this coffee cultivation in India faces tough competition from countries like Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia.
