Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu announced on Thursday that his government is working to turn Araku into a premier global coffee destination, marking the International Coffee Day.
In a statement posted to X, Naidu said the state is actively investing in building the Araku brand, a move he believes will empower local growers and secure Andhra Pradesh’s place on the world coffee map.
He added that coffee is a daily staple for millions and that his own day begins with a perfect cup, noting, “For me, it starts with Araku – a taste of Andhra Pradesh’s rich heritage.”
The CM highlighted the journey of Araku coffee, a tribal‑origin commodity produced in the Paderu area of the southern state, from the vibrant hills of Andhra Pradesh to cups around the globe, celebrating its growing international presence.
