India

India is the third largest coffee producer in Asia and is one of the countries with a long tradition of producing high quality beans. An important growing area is the Western Ghats, which stretch along the west coast of India. This mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of eight important biodiversity areas in the world. Over 30% of all species of plants, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals are found here. The area is also home to the largest population of tigers and Indian elephants.

Coffee that protects nature.

Coffee in these regions is grown on traditional plantations that help protect the ecosystem and provide an alternative environment for biodiversity. These agroforestry systems support species diversity of birds, butterflies and mammals such as the blue flower, the Somali starling and the flying squirrel. With rapid modernisation and rising costs of cultivation, farmers face economic challenges and often abandon traditional production methods, which can lead to the decline of these creatures.
