Geography
In Ganga valley region rice is the main crop of the farmers but Araku valley is famous for the coffee cultivation. Although both are valley region why such difference is found?
Answer
The key reason for this difference lies in the nature of the land. The Ganga Valley is a flat and low-lying area, which allows water to accumulate—an ideal condition for rice cultivation. In contrast, the Araku Valley has steep slopes where water drains quickly. This well-drained terrain is suitable for growing coffee, which requires less standing water. Therefore, the type of crop grown in each valley depends on the slope and water retention of the land.
