Q68 (IAS/2008) Geography › Indian Economic Geography › Crop distribution India Answer Verified

Consider the following statements: 1. Chikmagalur is well-known for sugar production. 2. Mandya is well-known as a coffee-producing region. Which of the statements given is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Both statements are incorrect. Chikmagalur (Chikkamagaluru) is historically and presently renowned as a major coffee-growing region (the Baba Budan Hills/Coffee cradle) within Karnataka’s coffee belt, not for sugar production [1]. Conversely, Mandya is widely recognised as an important sugarcane- and sugar-producing district in Karnataka and features prominently in state-level sugarcane statistics and cultivation areas, rather than as a coffee-producing region. Therefore neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
