coffee farming
Coffee farming involves the cultivation of coffee plants, primarily the Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora species. Farmers typically grow these plants in tropical regions with rich soil and adequate rainfall. The process includes planting seeds, nurturing the plants, and harvesting the coffee cherries when they ripen.
After harvesting, the cherries undergo processing to extract the coffee beans. This can be done through methods like washing or drying. Once processed, the beans are roasted to develop their flavor before being packaged and sold. Sustainable practices are increasingly important in coffee farming to protect the environment and support local communities.
