“…Coffee irrigation has increased considerably in the last 20 years due to several factors, such as the expansion of coffee production to new frontiers; the evolution of the irrigation technique; the reduction of irrigation system cost and the mentality of the coffee grower in the coffee production system, prioritizing the efficiency and quality of production (Mantovani and Soares, 2003;Santinato et al, 2008;Santinato and Fernandes, 2012, Garcia et al, 2019, Liu et al, 2018Ho et al, 2018;Fernandes et al, 2019;Lima et al, 2019, Vicente et al, 2018. Especially in regions considered marginal with regard to water deficit, the use of irrigation has become increasingly frequent for coffee cultivation.…”

Coffee irrigation has increased in the main Brazilian coffee regions. However, in recent years, with climate change, years with water deficits greater than 150 mm have been observed, affecting the vegetative and productive development of the crop and also the replenishment of surface and underground springs. One practice that increases soil water retention capacity is organic fertilization. This work evaluated different combinations of irrigation and organic fertilization on the yield and quality of coffee produced in the Minas Gerais cerrado region. The treatments were: T1: total irrigation; T2: no irrigation; T3: total irrigation + organic fertilization (chicken manure, 10 ton ha-1); T4: no irrigation + organic fertilization (chicken manure, 10 ton ha-1); T5: 50% irrigation + organic fertilization (chicken manure, 10 ton ha-1). After 7 harvests, it was concluded that the treatment that combined organic fertilization with application of half of the necessary irrigation presented the best yield, superior to the treatment with total irrigation and exclusively mineral nutrition.

“…In other words, farmers have an increase of agricultural knowledge based on which to draw, to decide, what to grow and how to grow it, as well as a better understanding of their resources, weather conditions, and price dynamics. Sustainabilitycertificate farms, which are less susceptible to environmental influences, develop better economic efficiency than did conventional farms, as reported by (Ho et al, 2018).…”

“…Under problematic circumstances, the authors suggest that local farmers and the community change their method of growing coffee and pepper in order to mitigate the risk and maintain production. For instance, the authorities should announce certificate application to farmers in suitable region, or/and improve shade tree for plantations in the whole province, which can lead to cutting down environmental impacts, reducing production cost (i.e., irrigated cost) and enhancing households' income from by-products (timber, fruits) (Jezeer at al., 2018;Ho et al, 2018). In Mexico, Peru and Ethiopia, certificated coffee creates the sustainability.…”

There is a great consensus about the crucial role of perennial crops in an agricultural economy of a country. The paper aims (1) to identify the differences in the costs and profits of perennial crops produced by two study groups, a group producing coffee (GpC) and a group producing pepper (GpP) over two crop years 2016/2017-2017/2018; (2) evaluate the evolution of the economic performance of each group during two years; and (3) examine factors influencing the farm profitability. By using the mixed data from a household survey conducted in three sub-regions of Dak Lak province, Vietnam, a financial verification is used to explore the economic incentives between two groups and a discriminant analysis is undertaken to classify the determinants of the farm profitability. The results perform that the GpC is generally lower input costs and economic benefits than the GpP. The decrease of economic indicators of the GpP during two years, meanwhile, is more significant than that of the GpC in the same period. In addition, the GpP is likely to invest more inputs, heavily use chemical cost, be more susceptible to pests and diseases, and the volatile market conditions in comparison to the GpC. Categorically, the variable cost and reduction rate in terms of valueadded, net farm income (NFI), profit, labor productivity, and the ratio of NFI to family labor of the GpC have lower than those of the GpP, respectively, during two years. Furthermore, in similarly conditional practices, the perennial crop farms generate different returns depending on experience, training, other income, and gross outputs. The findings provide information for farmers to make accurate decision about coffee and pepper farms production as recommended by reducing the quantity of fertilizers, allocating resources and diversifying crop systems. Additionally, the empirical results also offer policymakers the farms sustainable development at local and national levels. Going forward, authors suggest these factors be considered in the future.

“…Now deeply integrated into the global market with 93% of production for export (SC Lee, 2013: 380), coffee growers in Vietnam have tasted both the sweetness and bitterness of the fruit (Agergaard et al, 2009; Amarasinghe et al, 2015; Dang and Shively, 2005; Doutriaux et al, 2008; Gonzalez-Perez and Gutierrez-Viana, 2012: 60), Ha and Shively, 2008; Ho and Niekdam, 2016; Ho et al, 2018; SC Lee, 2013; SY Lee, 2013; Nguyen et al, 2019; Vivekananda et al, 2019; Winkels, 2008).…”

Over the last two decades, coffee growers in Vietnam have faced the same problems as farmers all over the world. Ethnographic research among the community of K’ho Cil coffee growers in Lam Dong Province from 2016 to 2018 documented local initiatives to deal with the problems through the establishment of a K’ho Coffee network, revitalization of traditional production patterns, local integration into the global coffee commodity chain and agritourism entrepreneurship. Conceptualizing the way local K’ho Coffee growers generated and implemented the initiatives, this paper argues that by utilizing their social network, local farmers revitalized their economic production. Negotiating a decent collective position in the world system of the coffee commodity chain offers them a chance to survive the influx of economic deregulation and avert the impacts of climate change.
