Resumo
O sistema híbrido para secagem do café foi uma tecnologia desenvolvida pela Universidade Federal de Viçosa. Técnicos da EMATER-Pr, a alguns anos vem trabalhando com os pequenos cafeicultores, buscando a melhoria da qualidade do café. Nos municípios cafeeiros de Carlópolis e Ribeirão Claro a produção do café de qualidade é dificultada pela alta umidade do ar e pela dificuldade dos pequenos cafeicultores investirem em infra-estrutura. O sistema híbrido para secagem do café foi introduzido em nossa região devido ao baixo investimento necessário e os bons resultados observados em outras regiões. Foram instalados cinco terreiros na região, sendo que o terreiro de Carlópolis foi feito o acompanhamento. Como comparação, foi utilizado um terreiro convencional de tijolos de 500 m2. Os resultados foram: tempo de secagem de 4,75 dias no terreiro híbrido e 20,5 dias no terreiro convencional; custo de secagem foi de R$ 15,99 por sc beneficiada no terreiro híbrido e R$ 17,86 no convencional; qualidade do produto obteve bebida dura a apenas mole no terreiro híbrido e duro/riado a duro no convencional. Os resultados obtidos nos dão segurança em recomendar sua instalação aos pequenos cafeicultores como importante ferramenta de melhoria da qualidade do café.
The hybrid system for coffee drying was developed by Viçosa Federal University. Technicians from EMATER-Pr have been working for a few years with small coffee growers to improve coffee quality. In the coffee growing towns of Carlópolis and Ribeirão Claro quality coffee production is difficult due to the high air humidity and because the small coffee growers are unable to invest in infrastructure. The hybrid system for coffee drying was introduced in our region due to the low investment necessary and the good results observed in other regions. Five terraces were installed in the region and a study was carried out at the Carlópolis terrace. As a comparison, a conventional 500 m² brick terrace was used. The results obtained were: 4.75 days for the hybrid terrace and 20.5 days for the conventional terrace; the drying cost was R$15.99 per bag for the hybrid terrace and R$17.86 for the conventional terrace, product quality was "dura" drink to only "mole" for the hybrid terrace and "duro/riado" to "duro" for the conventional terrace. The results indicate that it is safe to recommend its installation for small coffee growers as an important tool to improve coffee quality.
