Coffee heartland of Karnataka:

Karnataka dominates India's coffee production, with Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru, and Hassan being the key growing districts. These regions, located in the Western Ghats, provide the altitude, shade, and rainfall ideal for coffee cultivation.

Kodagu, often called the ‘coffee bowl of India’, accounts for nearly 40–45% of the state’s coffee output, primarily Robusta. Chikkamagaluru, historically the first place in India where coffee was grown, is renowned for its high-quality Arabica beans. Hassan contributes to both Arabica and Robusta production, particularly in its Sakleshpur and Belur belts.

Coffee estates in these districts also interplant crops like pepper, which climbs on shade trees, creating a unique agroforestry model that supports both biodiversity and farmer incomes.
