      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.

    Answer:

                      Tea plants grow well in tropical and sub-tropical climates where deep and fertile, well-droned soil is available which is rich in humus and organic matter. It also required warm and moist, frost-free climate throughout the year. Another specific requirement is the availability of abundant, cheap and skilled labour force. All these conditions are well avalable in North-Eastern states of India. So, tea plaitation is concentrated in Asom, Darjeeling and Jdpaigudi 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 Nihiri hills  regions of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.       But now coffee production has gradually leached  Andhra Pradesh Odisha and other North-eastern  states. Coffee required high elevation of 500 to 1800  m from sea level. Temperature required 18°C to   28° C, rainfall of 125 cm to 250 cm and humus loamy, well drained soil is quite necessary. All these geo-climatic conditions are found in Southern Indian hilly regions, so , coffee plantain is concentrated there.
