Araku Valley coffee café and experience centre on Vizag Beach Road to open in a month
Andhra Pradesh officials announced that a new Araku Valley coffee café and experience center will open on Visakhapatnam's Beach Road within a month. The facility aims to promote local tribal coffee products and educate tourists on the farm-to-cup production process.
Why it matters
The project serves as a model for state-led economic development that supports tribal farmers by connecting them directly to tourism and global markets.
Andhra Pradesh Girijan Cooperative Corporation (GCC) Chairman Kidari Sravan Kumar on Tuesday (September 29, 2026) said the Araku Valley Coffee café and experience centre coming up on Beach Road in Visakhapatnam would be opened soon.
Inspecting the progress of works along with the Corporation’s Directors, Mr. Sravan Kumar directed officials to complete them swiftly and without compromising on quality standards. “I think it may take approximately one month or so to open this,” he said.
Being built at an estimated cost of ₹1.06 crore, the two-storey facility stands on land obtained from the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. Its main aim, he said, was to let tourists and residents visiting Beach Road taste Araku Valley coffee and to make available the range of tribal products marketed through the GCC.
