Question

Why coffee plantations are located on the slopes of the Eastern Ghats.

Answer 1

Coffee plantations are grown on hill slopes to avoid water logging and to supply even water. Coffee is especially grown on the slopes of Eastern Ghats because the climate here is cooler with temperature ranging between 24-28° Centigrade which is best for coffee production. Soils are also fertile in this area with sufficient amount of rainfall of about 150 cms on average, necessary for growth of coffee plantations.
