Item Carbon footprint and carbon storing capacity of arabica coffee plantations of Central America: A review(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-07-17) Arellano, Carolina; Hernández, ChristianKnowing the carbon footprint of agricultural systems will allow us to create mitigation and carbon capture strategies to mitigate environmental impacts. Here we reviewed the available literature about the carbon footprint associated with the cultivation of Arabica coffee in Central America region, ranging from traditional polycultures to unshaded monocultures. Subsequently, we reviewed the carbon storage data about different C stocks of a coffee plantation (i.e. living biomass, litter and soil). Finally, actions to mitigate emissions at the farm level are suggested. The major findings of this review were: i) the carbon footprints vary from 0.51 kg CO2eq/kgcherry coffee in traditional polycultures to 0.64 kg CO2eq/kgcherry coffee in unshaded monocultures. ii) Nitrogen fertilization is the main factor contributing to the carbon footprint. iii) The amount of carbon stored in living biomass varies from 53.6 Mg/ha in traditional polycultures to 9.7 Mg/ha in unshaded monocultures. The adequate use of fertilizers, periodic monitoring of soil fertility, the incorporation of functional trees (e.g. shade trees and/or nitrogen fixers) to plantations, soil conservation practices and the use of biofertilizers are some of the recommended actions to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with coffee plantations.Item Cup of excellence and the evolution of the brazilian specialty coffee market: a historical perspective(Editora UFLA, 2021) Maciel, Gustavo Nunes; Leme, Paulo Henrique Montagnana Vicente; Guimarães, Elisa Reis; Maciel, Fernanda NunesOver its more than 20 years of existence, the Cup of Excellence program has contributed in several ways to the expansion of the Brazilian and global specialty coffee market. Therefore, the aim of this research is to demonstrate, from a historical perspective, the role of the COE in the development of the Brazilian specialty coffee market. To this end, a timeline was drawn up with the main events in the Brazilian specialty coffee market from the late 1980s to the present time. Documentary and bibliographical research was used. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted. Based on the results, it is evident that the technical legacy left by the COE changed the specialty coffee market not only in Brazil but throughout the world. The results also show that the forms, protocols and rules that regulated the competition’s editions had an impact on the entire market, including production processes and consumption trends.Item Motives for coffee consumption at coffee shops in Mexico(Editora UFLA, 2020) Cruz-Flores, Maryan Ariadne; Espinoza-Ortega, Angélica; Thomé-Ortiz, Humberto; Vizcarra-Bordi, IvonneCoffee is one of the main sources of foreign exchange for developing countries. Mexico accounts only 2.68% of the world coffee production, but represent the most important source of foreign exchange in the agricultural sector. The Mexican coffee began to be recognized in recent years, and despite the increase of the consumption, Mexico is not considered an important consumer. The objective was to analyse the motives for coffee consumption at coffee shops with quality labels. A national and a transnational company were selected in central Mexico to carry out a total of 600 questionnaires. The questionnaire had four sections: frequency of consumption, Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ), some images of coffee quality labels, and a socio-economic. The data were analysed using multivariate statistics, factor and cluster analysis. Indifferent, Pragmatic and Hedonic-Dependent consumers were identified; who are mostly young and middle-aged, single, childless and college educated. Their interest in attending coffee shops is to socialize; they are not interested in quality labels which have negative implications for the use of this type of labels in Mexico.Item Denomination of origin ‘Café del Huila’ and dynamics of coffee growing in Colombia(Editora UFLA, 2021) Trujillo, Heiber Andres; Mitidieri, Francisco José; Hashimoto, Elizabeth MieThe state of Huila in Colombia has a Geographical Indication –IG through the denomination of origin - DO ‘Café del Huila’. Although these protection strategies have been promoted, no concrete studies have been reported on aspects of their implementation in the coffee agribusiness. The main goal of this research was to study the coffee with the denomination of origin ‘Café del Huila’ from 2010 to the present, through economic and performance indicators, seeking to identify the main impacts in this sector of agriculture. The research was carried out in two stages: In stage I - an analysis of the area indicators and coffee production in Colombia and an analysis of the performance of coffee growing in the state of Huila related to; municipalities, producers, farms and area. In stage II - the characterization of the denomination of origin was carried out in accordance with the methodology proposed by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - FAO (2018) and analysis of its implementation. The coffee agribusiness in Colombia showed variable dynamics in the different regions of the country, with a tendency to decrease the planted area and variability of production. The state of Huila showed significant growth both in the area planted and in production, which place it as one of the main coffee producers in the country. However, this sector presents few indicators of impact on the implementation of the geographical indication through the appellation of origin.Item Spatial dynamics of coffee production in the state of Parana, Brazil(Editora UFLA, 2020) Ribeiro, Marina Ronchesel; Ponce, Talita Pijus; Telles, Tiago SantosCoffee is a commodity of great economic importance for Brazil and for the state of Paraná. In the 1960s and 1970s, Paraná was responsible for half of coffee production in Brazil. However, after 1975, with the occurrence of what was called the “black frost” (geada negra), there was considerable reduction in the area devoted to coffee growing in Paraná. In this context, the aim of this study was to examine the spatial dynamics of coffee production in Paraná, identifying the microregions that have specialized in the activity, and analyze the evolution and spatial distribution of production in the period from 2003 to 2018. To do so, the locational quotient (LQ) method was applied, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed, and cluster analysis was carried out. A reduction in planted area and of the amount of coffee produced in Paraná was found. The results of the LQ denote changes in the spatial dynamics of coffee production, with reduction from 14 to 9 microregions specializing in the activity, and they are concentrated in the North Central and Northeast of Paraná. Two principal components that explained 88.06% of the total variability of the data were identified: the first formed by microregions with high participation in rural credit, and the second by microregions near the processing industries. Four groups were defined based on their degree of specialization, rural credit, and location of coffee industries. This trajectory implies gains in yield and reinforces the importance of investments in technology as a determining factor in development of the coffee production chain.Item Café in small towns: a picture of the weakening social engagement(Editora UFLA, 2020) Viartasiwi, Nino; Trihartono, AgusSmall towns in developing countries are grappling with the evolving global brand and modern coffee shops (cafés) that have driven out the traditional coffee shop. New cafés have also encouraged a global coffee culture with its uniformity of coffee presentation and quality standard. This research was conducted in East Java, Indonesia, from 2017 to 2018. This study analyses the changing of coffee culture from the perspective of coffee shops culture in small towns of the developing country. Previously, coffee shops served not only as community meeting spots but also as centres of information and resource exchanges. Coffee shop helped to mediate people’s social interactions. Newly arrived café leaves the social dimension of the traditional coffee shop with limited interaction among its patrons. Café becomes a mere economic establishment and a token of a modern lifestyle. The study reveals that even though cafés improve the economy, the change reflects the changing of civic-bond in society. It concludes that the changing of coffee consumption in rural Indonesia may not only signing the arrival of a globalised coffee culture but also, signing the change of social engagement of the society.Item The continual improvement in the certification of coffee farms: a case study(Editora UFLA, 2018-10) Castro, Claúdio Vieira; Lira, Jean Marcel Sousa; Salgado, Eduardo Gomes; Beijo, Luiz AlbertoThe certification of agricultural products is considered a strategy that promotes sustainability and appreciation of product. In coffee production, the Certifica Minas Café is the only public coffee certification program in Brazil. However, over the years, many coffee farms that have this certification reduce their competence to meet the requirements, stabilizing at minimum levels of compliance, which allows maintaining the certificates, but does not promote continual improvement. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of Certifica Minas Café certification on the improvement of sustainability over time on coffee farms. For this, a case study with two properties in the south of the state of Minas Gerais was carried out in which one of them quest to not achieve continuous improvement, while the other does. On the coffee farm of the first case was observed a reduction of number of requested fulfilled by the certification program over time. While coffee farm of the second case there was a reduction in investment and low concern to maintain the requirements established by the certification. Lastly, this paper hypothesizes that improvement of sustainability depends on understanding the benefits of certification in the long term and is related to a behaviour change by the certified farm.Item Certifica Minas Café: um novo paradigma da atuação do estado na proteção ambiental?(Editora UFLA, 2017-10) Castro, Claudio Vieira; Salgado, Eduardo Gomes; Beijo, Luiz AlbertoO programa Certifica Minas Café (CMC) é uma iniciativa do governo do Estado de Minas Gerais para a certificação de propriedades cafeeiras. É o único programa de certificação de lavoura de café promovido pelo Poder Público. Esta pesquisa abordou um dos desafios do programa: lidar com as não conformidades encontradas nas auditorias e que possam representar o descumprimento de obrigações legais, pois os auditores do CMC possuem também atribuições de fiscalização da utilização de agrotóxicos. A pesquisa teve acesso a 570 relatórios de auditorias realizadas pelo programa no ano de 2015, tomando-se uma amostra de 230. Dos relatórios foram extraídos os dados referentes a seis requisitos da certificação, associados aos agrotóxicos. Adicionalmente, foram realizadas entrevistas com o gestor do programa e examinados os procedimentos e formulários da certificação. A maior contribuição desta pesquisa é apresentar e discutir a hipótese de que a certificação pública de propriedades e de produtos agrícolas pode ser considerada como um novo paradigma da atuação do Estado na proteção ambiental. O modo de atuação estatal na certificação não se enquadra nos paradigmas anteriores e proporciona resultados importantes no atendimento aos parâmetros técnicos e legais desejados, permitindo sugerir que sua utilização seja ampliada para outros setores, além da cafeicultura.Item Influência de fatores econômicos na oferta cafeeira do estado de São Paulo(Editora UFLA, 2017-07) Moraes, Adriano Ferreira de; Moraes-Oliveira, Adriana Ferreira de; Aparecido, Lucas Eduardo de Oliveira; Moraes, José Reinaldo da Silva Cabral de; Moraes, Silvia Martins deO café é uma das commodities agrícolas fundamentais para a economia brasileira e poucos estudos têm avaliado a influência das variáveis econômicas na oferta cafeeira. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho mensurar a influência que as variáveis econômicas promovem na variação da oferta do café arábica na região Nordeste do Estado de São Paulo. Foram utilizadas séries históricas de produção cafeeira e de variáveis econômicas do período de 2000-2015. As variáveis econômicas foram: crédito rural total, o crédito rural da agricultura, a área colhida de café, o valor adicionado na agropecuária, a participação da agropecuária no valor adicionado total, valor da produção do cafeeiro e valor adicionado fiscal dos municípios. Na modelagem utilizou-se de um modelo de regressão linear múltipla (RLM), sendo a oferta cafeeira a variável dependente e as variáveis econômicas as variáveis independentes. O modelo desenvolvido para estimar a oferta do cafeeiro em função das variáveis econômicas demonstrou elevada significância (p < 0,05). A evolução da oferta cafeeira é significativamente sensível às variações dos fatores econômicos. As variáveis econômicas com maior influência na variação da oferta cafeeira são a área colhida de café e o valor de produção do café.Item Certificação fairtrade na cafeicultura brasileira: análises e perspectivas(Editora UFLA, 2017-01) Alvarenga, Rafael Pazeto; Arraes, Nilson Antônio ModestoEste artigo contribui para o processo de tomada de decisão dos stakeholders da cafeicultura certificada fairtrade do Brasil. Faz um posicionamento amplo e atual sobre o cenário da certificação fairtrade na cafeicultura do Brasil. Foi desenvolvido por meio de revisão bibliográfica e entrevistas em instituições ligadas à certificação no Brasil. Seus principais resultados indicam que: i) metade das cooperativas de cafeicultores do Brasil se certificaram entre 2009 e 2015; ii) em poucas cooperativas estão concentrados a maior parte dos cafeicultores e das vendas de café fairtrade do Brasil; iii) pesquisas científicas brasileiras apontam que a certificação tem contribuído para a melhoria da gestão das propriedades e para a internacionalização dos negócios; iv) literatura internacional indica vantagens, mas também problemas na distribuição dos benefícios e muitos casos onde os impactos da certificação para a cafeicultura foram irrisórios. Ainda não é possível afirmar se a certificação fairtrade está ou não atingindo seus objetivos no contexto agregado da cafeicultura do Brasil.
