Item Agricultural Practices, Climate Resilience, and Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Coffee Value and Productivity in Vietnam(Editora UFLA, 2025-05-20) Trung, Ha Quang; Tu, Le Minh; Quang, Luong HongThis study examines the factors affecting coffee value and yield among farming households in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Utilizing data from the Vietnam Household Agriculture Research Survey and applying ordinary least squares regression, we examine how key variables such as Arabica cultivation, organic certification, input costs, labor, household characteristics, infrastructure access, and climate resilience impact coffee productivity and profitability. The results indicate that increasing the proportion of Arabica coffee significantly enhances both coffee value and yield. Efficient management of economic inputs, particularly irrigation and pesticide use, is found to be crucial in boosting productivity. Household characteristics, including education level and social organization membership, also positively impact coffee yield and profitability, reflecting the role of knowledge dissemination and community engagement. Conversely, high labor costs and remote farm locations negatively affect coffee productivity, while drought events significantly reduce coffee value, highlighting the vulnerability of coffee production to climate change. The findings provide empirical support for policy interventions aimed at strengthening Vietnam’s coffee sector through infrastructure investment, climate adaptation strategies, and the promotion of diversified coffee varieties. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of balancing economic inputs with sustainable farming practices to enhance both environmental and financial resilience.Item Yield Stability of Indonesian Coffee Production - Comparison Between Arabica and Robusta(Editora UFLA, 2025-06-03) Ma'ruf, Muhammad Imam; Bacsi, Zsuzsanna; Hollósy, Zsolt; Kamaruddin, Citra Ayni; Astuty, SriCoffee is a significant commodity in Indonesia, and the two most widely cultivated coffee species are Arabica and Robusta. This study aims to compare the yield stability of Arabica and Robusta coffee in Indonesia, and the performance of regions from the viewpoint of yield stability. Using the Yield Stability Index, the study measures yield stability over a 10-year period (2011-2020) using data from Directorate General of Estates, Ministry of Agriculture. Results show, that the two coffee varieties considerably differ in their stabilities, and the stability of yields across regions also show large discrepancies. While Robusta yields were stable in all the 33 analyzed regions, though to a different extent, for Arabica, produced in 20 regions, only 4 could produce stable yields. The yield stability of Indonesian coffee is influenced by a complex interplay of environmental factors, agronomic, and socio-economic factors. Mitigating these yield stability challenges requires a multifaceted approach.
