Tea cultivation is mainly confined to North-Eastern states of India, while the coffee cultivation is confined to South-Western states of India. Explain the statement.
Answers
Explanation:
Tea grows well in tropical and sub-tropical regions where there is fertile, well drained soil and cheap labour. It requires warm, moist, frost-free weather with well distributed rainfall throughout the year. Hence, its cultivation is confined to north-eastern states like Assam, hills of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, Meghalaya, Uttaranchal etc. Coffee requires tropical climate with temperature between 15° C to 28° C and well drained soil. Its cultivation is mainly confined to the western slopes of Western Ghats, mainly Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Tea plants grow well in tropical and sub-trophical climates where deep and fertile, well-drained soil is available which are rich in humus and organic matter. It also requires warm, moist and frost-free climate throughout the year. Another specific requirements is the availablity of abundant, cheap and skilled labour force. All these conditions are available in North-Eastern states of India. So, tea plantation is concentrated in Assam, Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri districts of West Bengal, Meghalaya, Tripura, etc but some tea plantation also found in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh etc. Coffee production in India is dominated in the hill tracts of Southern India, especially in Nilgiri hills region of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu due to favourable climatic condition and soil present there. But now coffee production has gradually reached Andhra Pradesh, Odhisha and other North-Eastern states.
