This climate, combined with relatively young, nutrient-rich volcanic soil, creates ideal conditions for coffee plants to grow. To preserve these optimal living conditions, the use of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers is prohibited by the government on the Galapagos Islands.
