THE IMPORTANCE OF HEIGHT IN COFFEE GROWING
High-altitude coffee has conditions that affect its production and quality.
It negatively impacts production due to lower tree productivity and delayed grain development. This situation results in higher production costs.
Positively, quality is enhanced, as greater complexity of flavors is obtained in the bean, as the sugars present in the cherry are retained longer.
Additionally, protection is provided against insects such as the borer, as the temperature is not conducive to their propagation. This condition allows for the cultivation of some crops organically.
