Solution
The ideal soil for coffee cultivation is deep, fertile, and well-drained loamy soil, red loam, or laterite soil that is highly rich in organic humus and iron content. The soil must be slightly acidic (ideally with a pH between 5.0 and 6.0) and possess excellent drainage capabilities, as coffee plants cannot tolerate water stagnation or waterlogged conditions around their root systems.
