Center of origin of coffee is :
Answer: D
The centre of origin of coffee is Ethiopia.
Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) grows wild in the highland forests of south-western Ethiopia, and Vavilov placed it in his Abyssinian centre of origin. From there it reached Yemen, where it was first cultivated and traded, and later spread to Asia and the Americas.
Brazil is today the largest producer, but coffee was introduced there in the eighteenth century. Peru is a producer too, and the Moluccas are the original home of cloves and nutmeg, not coffee.
