Soil

Soil for Coffee: 8 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.
• Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
• Most fields here are short of iron.
• Most fields here are short of boron.

Likes pH 5.5–7.0.

Money

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

No yield records for this crop yet.

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.

Mandi price at last season's harvest (December 2025–February 2026): about ₹21,150 a quintal across India's mandis.

This week: about ₹21,400 a quintal, the middle of 4 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov).

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in December.
