Koraput

Koraput district sits in the southern Eastern Ghats of Odisha, a region historically known for tribal agriculture rather than commercial coffee. Arabica has been grown here at moderate altitude on volcanic red-laterite soils, intercropped with native species in a traditional agroforestry model. The district is significantly cooler than the surrounding lowlands, with annual rainfall from both the southwest and northeast monsoons. Odisii Coffee Pvt Ltd is among the first producers in this district to pursue specialty grading and experimental post-harvest processing, opening a new origin for Indian traceable green coffee.
