Coffee

Coffee is grown in Nepal at the altitude of 500 to 1500 meter above sea level and the temperature is about 30 degree Celsius. Coffee is a high value cash crop with environmental importance and is being popular among Nepalese people since last few decades It has been spreading in over 33 districts of the middle hill Zones.

Coffee also is to be commercially producing in many parts of the country, based on feasibility study and action research. However, there is great potentiality for Coffee cultivation in hills, due to suitable climate, topography,Soil Structure, relative humidity, Temperature and Rainfall for both type of Arabica and Robusta. Some Districts like Arghakhanchi, Kaski, Parbat, Lamjung, Lalitpur, Kavre, Sindhu Palchok, Gorkha, Ilam, Nuwakot, Tanahu, Dhading, Sankhuwasava, Palpa, Gulmi and Makawanpur are successfully growing and producing Coffee beans and is increasing gradually. This will certainly help in diversifying process and will increase the income of the farmers as well as other individuals involved in processing and marketing.
