what kind of climate does coffee need to grow
For growing Arabica coffee beans, there are two optimal growing climates: The subtropical regions, at high altitudes of 16-24 (Illy, 21). Rainy and dry seasons must be well defined, and altitude must be between 1800-3600 feet.hese conditions result in one coffee growing season and one maturation season, usually in the coldest part of autumn. Mexico, Jamaica, the S. Paulo and Minas Gerais regions in Brazil, and Zimbabwe are examples of areas with these climate conditions (Illy, 21).
