Inferences from the chapter;
Coffee cannot be grown everywhere in the world due to changing environmental conditions and geographical locations. The most suitable conditions for the growth of the coffee tree are in the equatorial region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Coffee has become a popular beverage in many countries around the world, and more than 70% of it is grown by farmers in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Grown in the equatorial and subtropical regions, coffee provides a livelihood for more than 120 million people worldwide. Coffee originated as a wild crop in Ethiopia and has since become a globally traded and consumed product; today it is grown in about 70 countries in the tropics. Brazil leads the production and export of this agricultural commodity, followed by countries such as Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia.
