. A computer-statistical procedure to determine agroclimatic analogues for tea production in Colombia. Agric. Meteorol., 15: 221--230.
Coffee accounts for one half of the total exports and more than 70% of the total agricultural exports of Colombia. Agroclimatic analyses are being made as part of a program to develop the potential for other products so as to decrease the national economy's heavy dependence on a single crop. Tea is a crop of interest. A computer-statistical procedure of paired comparison and regression-correlation techniques were used to compare climatic data from 54 locations in Colombia with data from each of 11 tropical tea growing regions of the world. Five Colombian locations were found to be climatically analogous with the tea growing region in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia.
