The north central coast is Warm and humid with frequent rainfall, averaging 1,800–2,200 mm annually. Soil fertility varies, but irrigation supports coffee farming.

     The region grows both Arabica and Robusta, often intercropped with other crops. Arabica thrives in higher elevations, while Robusta dominates lower slopes. The region is gradually expanding its coffee area through sustainable farming programs.
