Q20 (CISF/2024) Geography › Indian Economic Geography

Consider the following geographical conditions :

Well-drained, rich friable loams containing good deal of minerals, temperature between 15 °C-28 °C and rainfall between 150 cm-250 cm and altitude variations from 600 m-1600 m

Which one among the following crops is suitable under the above conditions?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The geographical conditions described are ideal for Coffee cultivation, particularly the Arabica variety. Coffee requires a warm and humid climate with temperatures ranging between 15 °C and 28 °C and annual rainfall between 150 cm and 250 cm. It thrives in well-drained, rich friable loamy soils containing minerals like iron and calcium. The specified altitude of 600 m to 1600 m is characteristic of coffee plantations in the Western Ghats of India (Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu). While Tea also requires high rainfall and well-drained soil, it can grow at higher altitudes (up to 2100 m) and generally prefers slightly higher humidity. Coconut and Cashew nut are typically coastal crops that grow at much lower altitudes (usually below 600-700 m).
