Araku valley (Andhra Pradesh), Mar 25: Organic coffee grown in Andhra Pradesh’s Araku Valley is making its presence felt across the world.
Spread in an area of around 36 square kilometres, and located at altitudes ranging between 600 and 900 meters above sea level, the valley is ideal for coffee cultivation.
Encouraged by the good demand for the coffee, tribals of the valley started organically cultivating coffee without fertilizers, chemicals or pesticides.
The organically grown Coffea Arabica species in this area has drawn international attention. It has been winning 'Flavour of India-Fine Cup Award' for two years now.
