Within how many miles is coffee grown from the equator?

Here's why:

* Climate: Coffee plants thrive in tropical and subtropical climates with specific temperature and rainfall requirements. The band around the equator provides these conditions.

* Altitude: Coffee beans grown at higher altitudes (around 3,000-6,000 feet) tend to have better quality and flavor. This is why many coffee plantations are found on mountain slopes.

* Growing Regions: The main coffee-growing regions are in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, all located within this band.

Therefore, the maximum distance coffee is grown from the equator is approximately 1,380 miles (20 degrees of latitude x 69 miles per degree).

However, most coffee farms are concentrated within a much narrower band, closer to the equator.
