    Geographic scope of the global value chain for Indonesian coffee
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-12-29) Suryana, Anggita Tresliyana; Harianto; Syaukat, Yusman; Harmini
    Through the global value chain (GVC), the coffee sector is expected to meet one of the UN’s targets in the SDGs, which is to increase exports from developing countries to help them integrate into the multilateral trading system and benefit from it. Understanding the geographic scope of Indonesian coffee is essential, given that coffee is a pivotal global commodity for Indonesian coffee development. This study aims to analyze the geographic scope of Indonesia’s green coffee beans trade and the key factors that determine the flow of this trade. The analytical approach employed is Gereffi’s GVC analysis and Gravity Model. The panel data analysis uses bilateral coffee trade flows of 13 trading partners from 2002 to 2021. Analysis shows Indonesia exports most of its coffee to Global North countries, which also function as lead firms. Indonesia’s coffee GVC is concentrated at the upstream stages, while complex processing activities occur in advanced countries. According to the gravity model, the significant variables that affect Indonesia’s coffee trade flow are the importing country’s real GDP per capita, the importing country’s population, Indonesia’s real exchange rate against the local currency, Indonesia’s coffee competitiveness, and the non-tariff measurements for coffee. The potential countries to increase the Indonesian coffee trade are existing coffee markets.

    Impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the logistics of exporting coffee in containers
    (Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-12-15) Ferreira, Rafael Silva; Alvarenga, Rafael Pazeto
    For many years, Brazil has held the title of the world’s largest coffee producer and exporter. However, despite this, national coffee producers still struggle to access foreign markets due to the bottlenecks and high costs associated with the agro-industrial system’s port logistics. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic only exacerbated these challenges. Issues such as the scarcity of shipping containers and space on ships, cancellation of ship calls, and greater concentration and verticalization of the maritime and port transport sectors have further complicated matters. Furthermore, the regulation of these sectors in Brazil is still in its early stage. This study aimed to enhance the comprehension of the port costs incurred in exporting coffee in containers and the impacts that the Covid-19 pandemic on these costs and export logistics. The research utilized a quantitative and descriptive methodology. Data were gathered through a questionnaire administered to thirteen managers of Brazilian businesses and cooperatives engaged in containerized coffee exports. The study found that the pandemic directly impacted port costs and logistics, leading to more frequent container detention and additional port storage charges. Furthermore, the pandemic resulted in the introduction of new port fees/tariffs and raised the existing ones, such as the “Terminal Handling Charge” (THC), the “Export Logistic Fee” (ELF), the “Bill of Lading Issuance Fee” and the container scanning fee.

    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, Christian
    Knowing 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.
