coffee plantations

Coffee plantations are farms where coffee beans are cultivated. The process begins with planting coffee trees, typically in tropical regions with specific climates. These trees take a few years to mature before they produce cherries, which contain the coffee beans. Harvesting usually occurs once the cherries are ripe, and they must be processed to extract the beans. Afterward, the beans are roasted and ground to make coffee. Coffee plantations often focus on sustainable practices, balancing environmental health with economic viability, and they are essential for the global coffee supply, impacting many economies and cultures worldwide.
