Coffe plantations are typically found in regions with warm climates and high rainfall, such as Central and South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. Coffee plantations can range in size from small family farms to large commercial operations covering hundreds or thousands of hectares. They require careful management and maintenance, including regular pruning, fertilisation and pest control to ensure healthy growth and maximum yield. Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, and the demand for high quality coffee continues to grow. As a result, coffee plantations play a vital role in the global economy, providing employment for millions of people and contributing to the livelihoods of many communities.
